Default PL 6 correct charging...

hello i just bought a PL6, is my first "big" charger....
how do i calculate the charging and discharging rate for parallel or "individual"...
i have this batteries..

parallels charging 4 x ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 6S1P 45C
parallels charging 2 x Pulse 4500mAh 6s 45C
parallels charging 4 x Pulse 1350mAh 3s 35C

i understand that i divide the mAh / 1000 and then multiply by C "what is the C value in the PL6", example...
if i what to charge in parallel 2 x Pulse 4500mAh 6s 45C

4500mAh /1000 = 4.5
4.5 x 3C = 13.5

does this means i can SAFELY charge each one at 13.5A meaning that in parallel will set it to 27A to charge both......

Your math is correct. But do it this way. For two 4500 packs in parallel, set the "packs in parallel" value to 2. Then set the charge rate to 13.5 amps (for 3c). The charger will automatically double the charge current.

Also review this before starting.
