Is there any battery chargers out there (eg for AA/AAA) that would charge all the batteries at the same time? I know alot of them actually do it in sequence. Not sure about the Maha C9000.

Hello Albinoni,
If you put 4 cells into the C-9000, it will individually charge all 4 cells at once.
If you are talking about charging a battery pack made up of several cells in series, you then have to move to a hobby charger. Schulze, and others, make some very good chargers for charging these types of battery packs.

i have lithium balance charger(2s-3s) which charge each cells in lipo pack in sequence. It is a charger came with Walkera DF4 electric heli. I think it is solution to reduce the cost of the charger, since individual charging cicuit will be more expensive.

a very simple and "old school" way of recharging a set of series NI-??? things is to do a simple slow charge. i have used that method for years on multiple ni-?? devices , and never had any long term issues.
when/if you cant afford a $$$ hobby charger, that has an good series alogrythm for charging, then Slow Lame dum charging is very effective and cheap.
just stay below 1/10th C for charging , and prefer to do that for 14-16 hours. it will blance out ok and work fine.
its also a good way to have a cradle or in-device charger, when there is no access (or needed) to the batteries, and you can have multiple devices slow charging with $5-15 wall warts, which covers the issues of TIME taken to accomplish the slow charge.
a wall wart that is just the right voltage will also taper the charge neer the end of charge, making it pretty safe , and did i mention CHEEP
you might not want to do that for a hotwire with a mad discharge rate, but for everything else it works good.
