Nice guy Ian nearly bought his protection system, but it would have meant I would of had to remove my switches

Great as a way to show how good his work is I like it, really nice job,
Think I would still go for the plain and simple case again if I was to build another.

WOW! One of these days, you are going to have to meet me on Skype and explain to me how you have that all set up. I just don't fully understand how you can charge all those batteries at once. It's probably quite simple, lol.
That setup is going to look cool in it's own case.

Its very simple Derek.
Just buy a parallel charging board like the one in the picture. Plug all your batteries in, and set the charge rate to Packs cell count, and mah x number of packs.
In this case, 6S packs, 5.6A = 5600mahs (1400mah x 4 packs)
I charge these packs at 2C, so 11.2A. Takes 30mins.
They have a 5C rating, so theoretically i could charge them at 28A, but i am in no rush that i need them ready in less than 10mins.

Looking good Lee I set mine up last night, just back from holiday, 4 x 5000 and had the over power wRning come on. Reset it and it went fine.
I read that when using parallel boards you must plug in the battery first and then the balance lead. I have been doing this. Not sure if you have to?

I thought i read, it was the other way around? I've done it both ways with no issues.
Thanks, I can't wait to get it in a case.
Same here, thought I read that balance leads first then main charge connectors, and I've done it both ways and never had an issue. The balance leads never arc when I connect them, which is about the only "benefit" I can see since it prevents the main charge lead from arcing when I connect it afterward.
