I'm not exactly sure how the TP-205V works, but I don't think that you can plug two packs' balancer connectors into it at the same time. I made a solution to this that I'm using for two of my packs right now, I'll see if I can get it posted later if there is interest.
Yes, there is interest! :)

Why won't plugging two packs into one balancer work? As long as the batteries are in series when charged, and the balancer connectors are connected properly (based on how the packs are connected together for charging, the charger and balancer should see the two packs as one, right? Of course, the last wire on the balancer connector for pack one should be in direct parallel with the first wire on the balancer connector for pack two. Physically, they are two packs, but electrically it shouldn't matter I would think...
