Following an idea I saw on ES, I bought 14 of these.

And I'm going to try to make a charger that is basically 14 little chargers in one to charge my 14S scooter battery. Instead of using a hobby charger that charges at up to 20 amps and then goes into balance mode trying to balance the cells at 0.3 amp for 15 hours, charging each cell individually should be a bit faster even though it only charges at 1 amp and all the cells should still be balanced at the end.

Once I get the chargers and open them up to have the exact dimension of the boards, I should be able to find a project box to house all of them together in one neat charger. Positioning the LEDs so they are visible through hole in the project box. They turn red when charging and when they all turn green, I'm good to go.

Whadaya think?
