Help! Digi-Switch, can we charge batterys in parallel??

Hey guys,
i'm using Digi-Switch.. (powerBox Digi-Switch)..
it's safe to solder paraller connection on the battery to charge it "without" disconnect it from the Digi-Switch?
the charger won't kill or will brun the Switch after some charges?
here is a pic.. of what i'm saying..

i knowwww there is some people who using it this way.. and charging this way..
but anyone know if it's safe??
you can charge it 10 times.. and one day.. this switch will die!
there is any factory note that saying it's safe?

(i'm thinking the switch will die.. because it's limited to 8.4V input.. and when you charging.. it's much more then 10V from the charger... (you can check it yourself..)

Thanks for answering..

OK.. Thanks..
i just advised with electric engineer, he said that the electronics inside the switch can sometimes to mislead the "end of charge" of the charger.. and it's dangerous with Lipo or Lion.......

i'll not connect it in parallel...

Reza,
i decided to call Germany (to PB Factory)...
and they said that i can connect like on this diagram..
you can solder Charge line in parallel to the Battery.. and charge while the Switch is connected.......
(just importent it's to turn-off the sitch..)
so i tought you want to know.. (if the Factory says it's ok.. i'm calm about this..)
