Parallel charging board

I have a Imax B6 and a parallel charging board with mcx socket on one side and mCP x on the other. If I put one battery on each side one's 200 mah the other 150 mah charging rate set to .3A, 3.7v(S1). At he end of the charge cycle the batteries read 4.09v instead of the normal 4.2v.
If I charge only on 1 side it will charge to 4.2v. The board is made by CommonSense RC. This is all new to me so maybe I shouldn't be mixing battery types. Right now I only have one of each size so I can't see what happens if I use all mCX or all mCP x.

Resistance may have a little involvement. Some batteries are made in parallel. You should not mix different types of batteries, but you can probably raise the voltage a little on your charger to compensate and it would not hurt.
 
Tried using the Fast mode and it does charge them to 4.2v, strange. Just ordered 2 more mCP x batteries so we'll see what happens using them.
