Someone double check this quickly please

[GeeReg]

I just need someone to check this quick as I'm new to lipos. I just got 2 lipo packs to run in my Nitro MT. They are 2200mah 3S2P. To charge these I want to make a harness to run them in parallel to my charger, and charge at 4.4a right? TIA.

Yes. Just make sure to balance them.

[GeeReg]

So is it a better idea to charge them separately with the balancer for the first time?

I'd say so,i sometimes charge 2 packs together to about 90%,then charge them to full individually attached to a balancer.The good thing about Lipos is you can charge them the night before.I sometimes run mine days after the charge,i just check them on the charger before i run them.

Ok thanks guys. I balanced both with my LBA6. One didn't need any and the other took about 2 min.

If you are going to charge both packs together in parallel, they need to be balanced to each other as well. Make sure the voltage of the 2 ballanced packs is exactly the same before you charge them in parallel.

You don't need to fully charge a lipo pack. In fact it's better not to. Just unplug it when it reaches 4.2 volts/cell volts. That is usually when it's 90% full.
