With NiMh how does it regulate the current to each battery?
All those parameters and more are shown either on the charger's screen, or on a laptop, which is what I use. And you have to use the paraboard to charge multiple batteries simultaneously. And I have no idea how it does nimh because I haven't used those in about 8 years.

I never charged six at the same time, only two, and it shows everything going on with each battery.

If you don't need to have your lipo's charged quickly I would recommend this charger

You do need to have a 12v DC power supply. Also it never charges my batteries to 4.2v per cell, it usually stops at about 4.1v.

Avel makes a good point. I've never fast charged a battery yet. Its my fear and respect for lipos I guess. My 2S 2200ma I've always charged at 1.2A and my 3s 8400ma I charge at 4.2A

I'm tired of charging in the living room ( translation: charging stuff got kicked out of living room for Xmas decor. the tree is gone now and yet, seems like my stuff is not allowed anymore:confused::(:lol: )

No problem! I make my own charging space! I think I have my bases covered well enough? Tin on the shelf and wall, batteries in a lipo bag sitting in a Pyrex pan with a smoke detector directly above.
I feel comfortable watching TV upstairs while charging in the basement?:confused:

:lol: I'm looking at my post and thought....yup, picture has to move. :lol::).

But it's in a bag though and should suppress any wild YouTube video flame action. :)

I didn't know the bag is a flame retarder
