Default RE: Li-PO or NiCd Pros and Cons

AstroFlight 109 for large lipos. There are more expensive chargers out there but the 109 does most everything.
Charges 1 to 9 cells at up to 8 amps. .........
Thanks, very helpful info. I believe I will be using two 1500mAh 3Cell packages in parallel for better endurance. If I am figuring right each package will carry half the load. If each package is rated for 8C discharge, that will transfer to 12A and I could draw 24A continuously, which would be 6A more than I need. Hence there is a margin.

Can I charge the two packages simultaneously in parallel with 3A (2 x 1.5A) or do I need to charge each package separately or can I charge both packages in series with 1.5A?
