Possible but not the best method.

Besides the fact that it would take 2 hours to charge them separate, they need to be balanced = both packs equal in voltage. If you are careful and couble check the voltage you could do that. But as a caution I would not run them down too far... stop and recharge well before they "dump" so you don't risk having one pack go below 3v/cell before the other.

I think the new 989 does 5s... I would upgrade the charger and make life easier.

The LVC will still work.... all it "sees" is the total voltage of the pack which is 5s, regardless of how the pack is wired up or packaged.
