simplified charging
if you're using two flight packs in your airplane and you are charging them at the field one at a time, try this. This requires a high end charger, the type that is not cell specific ie. charges any number of cells let's say one to twenty. My Astroflite does that.
Make a jumper that will put both packs into series. Now you are charging one 8 cell pack or one 10 cell pack at the same time instead of 2 4 or 5 cell packs one after the other.
Red wire goes from charger to pack 1 red.. Jumper goes from pack 1 black to pack 2 red. Black charger to black pack 2. and there you have it.
