Hello, 

I have a 1400 mAh battery, 6S, 150C. Is it correct that the maximum charging amperage for that battery is 1.4A (1400/1000)?

If that is correct, and I am using parallel charging, can I multiply the amperage by the amount of batteries being charged? i.e. if I charge 4 batteries in parallel, then it would be 1.4*4 = 5.6A

Thank you!

1.4A is the charge current needed if charging at 1C. You can of course charge at a higher C rating if you so desire (at your own risk of course).

Yes, that is correct, if charging all the the LiPos at a 1C charge rate.
