The other issue is balancing. The charger would have to back off to let the balancer catch up to avoid overcharging cells. No problem for chargers with integrated balancers though.

Individual cell charging would almost be mandatory. But the balancer harness wires would have to be capable of handling the 5c charge rate...

I've seen people using those regulated power supplies, but with A123 cells. I know they are CC/CV or CV/CC and you can set the required voltage and AMP you want to charge your packs at.

I know you can link up 2 of the 610I chargers to do up to 12s. I am sure you can do the same for the 720I. Not sure if you can link them to charge a 6s pack at 500+ watts though...

You may "Network" connect two EOS0720i's together, using optional EOS0610i network cable. In this case, you can charge two separate but similar Lipo or A123 packs as a single unit, to make packs from 4S to 14S at 500W max charge power.
So I'm assuming you can charge a 6s at 500w...

As long as you are not sleeping with your mom and beating your GF it is all good! Unless you live in MS (low blow there, HAHAHA)
