I found this interesting accessory to charge up to 6 batteries lipo 2-6 elements connected in parallel, this accessory allows us to have multiple batteries in the robot and the charging charger all at once.
Example: 4 batteries (3s) 5000mah in parallel = (3s) 20000mah (20A)
The smart charger to charge a battery program 3s 5amp, each battery receives 1.25 amps, charging time approximately 4 hours.
Make sure that the batteries are all the same, same number of elements, same capacity in amperes, and that all elements are in good shape.
I found interesting to share with the community because every time we are but what we use lipo batteries.
Even practical to incorporate smart charger robot and automatic coupling stations for charging lipos.
There are several models of this accessory for various connectors of the batteries, some with fuse protection and different prices.
In addition to the large 20 amp smart chargers, you could make the battery charge in the previous example in 1 hour
(20 amp / 4 = 5 amps)

-for those who question the balance charging-
Take in mind all it is doing is connecting all the balance ports together in parallel. This WILL charge them but it does defeat the purpose of the balance port charging. The balance ports individually plug into a balance charger where the charger manually checks each cell to make sure they reach 4.18 -4.2 volts. Using a parallel method will not charge them to the max capacity. If you have 6 Lipo batteries then max capacity probably is not a concern though.
I was also concerned about it balancing 6 batteries. Say cell 1 is Vx1 and cell 2 is Vx2 where x is battery number, if V11 is 4.1v, V21, V31, V41 & V51 are 4.2v and V61 is 4.3v it'll think they are all the same, Battery 1 and Battery 6 will not be balanced. At least that's how I saw it.
But, if you have a huge supply and a lot of LiPos to charge all at once then it's a great board to simplify everything.
60 amps on single weight 3kg (6lb 9.8219oz)
Only I have to save a couple of decades and ready, I guess that eventually take out batteries largest market for the individual balance not to worry when they are in parallel.
Maybe this is a bit cheaper. Two of these is the same as a 10000 and two of these batteries is 1.2 pounds.
, 20c x 5a is 100 amps ( times 2 because it takes two batteries to meet the capacity)
2 Batt packs x 100 amps =200amp output
200a x 7.2 volt = 1440 watts
That's not bad it could support a lot of juice!
But you are right, it's going to be a lot of juice and plenty for most applications.
