Parallel charging C rate ?
Hi guys. I am starting to get into parallel charging now that I have the right kit, (iCharger 306b with server PS and a paraboard). I understand that as long as the cell count of the lipos match up, everything is okay, and that you just add up the capacities to find the 1C rating. For example, a 1*2000mah 6S lipo and a 1*4000mah 6s lipo would be a charge rate of 6 amps, which would be 1C. But, what if some packs can be charged at 3C individually, but others only at 1C ? How many C's can I charge at when parallel charging ?

You are correct in the math for the 6A charge being 1C.
As far as the other question goes, I wouldn't risk charging a 3c and a 1c battery together unless you're gonna charge at the lower C battery rate. Hope that helps!
