To charge all 8 at once, you will need to connect them all in paralell. The paraboard at least paralells 6 of em. The plugs on the paraboads charge input may not match the bullets on your packs though. So you may need adapters.

Assuming you are going to pair up some of those lipos paralell anyway, the paraboard would then be able to connect 4 sets of paired packs. So the paraboard is likely to be more usefull to you, once you make adapters to convert the paraboard plugs to bullets.

If you only need to charge 6S (and won't ever need to charge 8S) the PowerLab 6 is a bit less expensive and has the same current output as the PL8.
I'm using a pair of PL6's and they work great.

Plus a power supply to make the charger work.

Yeah, that will take a monster power supply to run it at the full potential. But at less than 1500w, it should at least be a PS that doesn't require a 220 plug.

That's going to be a hefty charger setup.
