I looked at it, and it doesn't look like it would be charged in parallel. Each battery has its own connector to allow for a single battery charging. The first battery just runs to the second battery, which then runs to the power switch. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just what I noticed. But you are correct in saying it's not the best thing to charge them in parallel.
