Obviously it would take twice as long to charge, but would you end up with the same outcome? Since Lipo don't seem to need balancing as often as NiMH need equalising, would it be possible to balance at home using this medthod, before racing, and not bother during a meet?
nope
the 3200 has two cells in each bank wired in paralell ther then joined in serries by the link wire, the 4800 has 3 cells per bank (bank being one square block)

you could but then they wont be balanced, they will just both be charged up balancing makes both cells the same charging seperatly does not as it can not know what level the other pack is at
