so i have 4 bateries but only need 3 right, so i stick three of them in the charger but to my dismay it doesnt charge(apparently you need 4 batteries to complete the circuit…psh). now i need to figure how to chrage 3 at once.  
is it okay if i mark the battery that i dont use and just keep on charging it each time the other three are out?  
i thought of hardwiring the empty section to complete the circuit but ive burned myself way too many times with high resistance wires to try.  
i just need to know what will work

thanks
