I must have asked this question several times.

I know 1s lipos are dispensable items for most of you here.But where I live, they don’t come cheap and availability is an issue too. So I would like to take good care of them.

I have 5 1s lipos and they are of different capacity. It’s been already answered that it is not good practise to do storage charge them in series as a 5s pack as capacity is different.

I have a 1s 6 in 1 charger which can charge 6 1s lipos together. It does display voltage of each lipo while charging.

So my question is, is it ok to use that charger to charge the lipos to 3.8v and take out?
Advantage I see is, I can do all 5 lipos together.

Thanks.

Yes, you can do that with no issues because each of those 6 outputs are on their own separate charging circuit. Obviously you will have to sit and monitor the voltages manually then just disconnect each LiPo from the charger when it reaches 3.8V.

And for storage charging in series parallel, Nick posted a good video on how to do that a few days ago...

I think it is in series. He did mention the main article link http://www.thejumperwire.com/tutorials/d...batteries/
There I saw,

“If you plan on charging batteries with different capacities, use the smallest capacity of the group as the capacity for all of them when you do this math.”

“Charging 1S Batteries with Different Capacities

I haven’t actually tried this, but I believe it will work just fine. A similar caveat applies regarding the balance port. The batteries with the higher capacity will achieve voltage slower. The charger will have to use the balance port more, and incresae the overall charge time. Again, charging batteries of the same capacity will be faster and more efficient.”

Again he is not affirmative.

Yes, sorry, I did mean series. Was a typo.
