Ah, one of the old parallel charger designs! Several years ago I had a lot of fun reading up on various DIY electronics threads on RC Groups, for things like DIY chargers, DIY balancers, DIY Lipo alarms, DIY UBECs, etc. I built all of those too, but only one of these projects proved useful: the DIY Lipo alarm. It was designed to work with 2s or 3s (different resistor values for each) and is very small, maybe 1/2" cubed. My Nomadio React is using the 2s Lipo alarm since the radio circuitry is powered by 5v UBEC and I can't tell what voltage the battery is at.

It's really fun stuff, especially learning to read the schematics.
