ReadyToSky 1S LiPo Charging Board, Parallel or Series

A 1S charging board that lets one balance charger handle a batch of whoop and micro packs in a single session. Pick the Parallel version to charge up to six 1S packs side by side, or the Series version to balance-charge them as one string through a 6S balance lead.

Key features

• Parallel version: six 1S positions with GNB27, JST-PH2.0 and JST 1.25 sockets, a 3A PTC fuse and short-circuit protection; takes LiPo, LiHV, Li-ion and LiFe cells.
• Series version: JST-PH2.0 and JST 1.25 sockets with a 6S 22AWG silicone balance lead, so the charger monitors every pack individually.
• Both boards charge through an XT60 lead on 16AWG silicone wire.
• A 4.0mm banana to XT60 male lead is included for chargers with banana-plug outputs.
• Two socket types cover the common whoop plugs, so PH2.0 and 1.25mm packs share one board.

Specifications

• Cell count: 1S
• Chemistry: LiPo, LiHV, Li-ion, LiFe (Parallel version)
• Battery sockets: GNB27, JST-PH2.0, JST 1.25 (Parallel); JST-PH2.0, JST 1.25 (Series)
• Charge lead: XT60, 16AWG silicone
• Adapter lead: 4.0mm banana to XT60 male
• Protection: 3A PTC fuse, short-circuit protection (Parallel)
• Balance lead: 6S, 22AWG silicone (Series)

In parallel, connect only packs at about the same voltage and set the charge current for the combined capacity of everything plugged in. In series, the charger sees the packs as one multi-cell battery, so use balance mode with the matching cell count.
