I have one of the small Sparkfun LiPo charger boards (with mini USB-b connector), and I like it very much. It works well with all of the single-cell rechargeable lithium batteries I have tried.
It is my understanding that a charger designed for a single cell LiPo will not work correctly for multiple cell (series) units because the charging current will not be distributed evenly across the cells. Is this true for cells connected in parallel, as well? Or do I have the entire matter backwards?
Thanks,
