Parallel batteries discussion

[natrix]

I have only one balancer right now, the LBA10 and will be charging them with the EOS7i. Is it OK to balance each within .05v and then charge, or should I balance after. Or should I be picking up another balancer? Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, I'm a nitro guy and this is my first venture into lipos.

I think it would work well to plug both together (within 0.05v), start the charge, and check the balance of the packs during the charge using the balancer. If either pack is out of balance, you could leave the balancer on that pack.
