I'm considering building a light that would run on 6 lithiums in series (and have maybe 2 parallel strings depending on space/cost). I'd like the batteries to be able to be semi-permanently installed and have a usb/some VDC/120VAC powered charger built into the light. I know there are single cell chargers you can get for around a dollar (such as the TP4056 from cheap Chinese sites) but I assume you can't hook 6 of those up in series with 1 for each battery (or can you?).
So what I am looking for is a balancing charger that will do 6 batteries that I can fit into a light, does anyone know of any off hand? Current thoughts call for a light that is around 40x40 mm square cross section.
