Here's a great link to why you shouldn't charge your NiMH packs in parallel: http://tlb.org/nimhboom.html

More info will be posted here as to how I'm charging my packs....

I just bought a used iMax B6AC charger (LiPo/Li-Ion/NiMH) to complement my previous Turnigy Accucel-8 charger. I had trouble finding the user manual but finally located it. I'm posting a copy here just in case anyone wants it:

• iMax B6AC Charger User Manual (pdf)

And here's a little comparison table that I drew up comparing the iMax with the Turnigy units:

	iMax B6AC	Accucel-6	Accucel-8
Max Power	50 watts	50 W	150 W
Max Current	5.0A	5.0A	7.0A
Max LiPo Cells	6	6	8
Max NiCD/NiMH Cells	15	15	27
Max Pb	20v	20v	36v
Power Input	100-240 VAC 11-18 VDC	10-18 VDC	10-18 VDC
