I'm sure I don't even have the terminology right. If I have a charger that has non-independent ports (e.g., the default Eneloop charger, which has two pairs of 2 ports), what is the behavior if I put in two batteries that aren't discharged to the same level? So I discharged one battery much lower than the other, and put both batteries side by side in one of the dual ports. Will the charger charge both batteries until either one is charged, and then shut off charging, leaving the other battery only partly charged? I know the right answer here is "get a Maha" or something like that, but until I do, I have a single Eneloop that I want to charge, but can't guarantee any other battery I charge it with will be discharged to the same level. I have exactly the same problem with two Tenergy Lifepo 16340s, which I run singly in separate devices, but (I think) I need to charge as a pair in the little Tenergy recharger.
