Hi all,
im interested in charging multiple lipo's at the same time for quicker fly times of course :)
any one have any recommendations for
1) best lipos to use (weight vs flight times, weather it be 3s or 4s)
2) charger or charging leads for multiple charge.

The most important is the charger current.
If you want fast charges, it's better to buy 45C lipos, so that you can charge them at 5C without problems.
Using 45C Lipo has another advantage : they almost never become warm during use, so that you don't need to wait long hours before to charge them again.
You could use a dual port charger,some are able to output 20 Amp for each output. This give you a 5C charge for a 4000 mAh batterie so you can charge two batteries in about 15 minutes.
To get this amount of power, you'll need a 50A 24V switched power supply to connect the charger.
If you want even more power, you can use two separate chargers, some are able to output 30A. Then you'll need an even bigger power supply.
