Do you mean charging more than 1 pack of battery at a time?
If so, you could check out the electricfly polycharge4. Its only $99 and can charge up to 4 packs of batteries at once. Each pack of up to 4s. Works pretty well, though it will cost you to get four individual balancer, one for each channel of course.

if you get some astro blinky balancers and the adapters for them its only another $100 bucks. not a bad deal to balance charge 4 packs at the same time. you can only do up to i think a 2000 mah pack on the polycharge but anything bigger will just take longer.

i have "heard" that you can balance/charge two 3s packs in series with the tp-610 charger. the charger would see it as a 6s pack. but you would also need to have a 6 pin to 4 pin adaptor, so you can connect the other 3s pack to the 6pin connector. call thunder power for further detail.

if you want to charge two 3s pack in series as a 6s pack. it is advise that the packs have similar discharge voltage. preferably, the two 3s packs were used in series as 6s configuration together all the time.

I have 7 3s 2200mah lipos for the trex 450 v2 and would like to get fast safe and cheap charger that I can do multiple packs with thanks for some reason that poly charge looks cheap and dosent have many features (looks that way to me ) don't want to offend anyone thanks again

the electricfly polycharge 4 is nice charger indeed, in that it will charge 4 packs of up to 4s each of 2500mah. for less than $100. it is hard to beat it in this functionality.
you can search here on runryder, rcgroups, helifreaks, for polycharge4. you will probably not get many result, as peoples doesn't have any complaints about them. peoples normally write up a complaint or problems on how to use, but this charger is idiot proof. but not many will write up something just to praise about it.
people don't buy this charger because of lacks of functionality, also of it primitive looking design. oh, and one more, it doesn't fully charge the packs either. it will charge about 90-95 percent.
but that's alright. i'll be having four packs ready to fly in an hour at the field, while you can take your time and charge each pack at an hour each. it is consider a convenient charger while you're at the field. i don't recommend it as your first charger though.

one time, i though of buying four tp-425 charger and epoxy them together. so i can charge four packs at the field. well...until i saw someone at the field with the polycharge4. then i though "oh, so they do make that".

Hyperion DUO, I have one and love it. You can charge 2 packs at once as it has 2 charge ports with balancers built in.

TP 610c:

It will do 2 3s packs in series. For the second pack, you need to align the 4 pin connector to the left most pin on the 6 pin socket.

If you time your flights and the packs come down at pretty consistant voltage (within 0.3v) then you can do multiple pack (3 or more) parallel charge as shown in pic 1. You will have to use separate balancers for the other packs.

Ideally, if you build a parallel balance connector, you won't have to use separate balancers.
