what do you mean by all at the same time, what batts and charger are they? Dont charge batteries in parallel, especially nicads/nimh.

Because each pack will have a different charge in it you need to charge them individually. If you charge them all in series then you will end up over charging one pack and under charging the others.

Basically Alex you have the right setup. Kane is right make sure that all the packs are of the same state of charge/discharge before you wire up and charge in series.
