Default quick charging question



i have a 1-4 cell lipo charger, 1-2 cells can be charged at a 3 amp max, 3 at2.4 and 4cells at1.8 amp max, would it be faster to charge my 2s cells seperatly or wire them in series and charge them as a 4s pack, what if i wire them in parralel? will the affect charge time?

My vote would be to charge them seperately

one of these might be of use though

this will do 2 x 2s packs at once at 2amps each. I have one of the same chargers minus the lcd screen.

It sounds like it won't matter since the charger's max power is being reached in all cases. It may be around 30 watts.
