| You could use a Castle Creations HV85, Kontronics Jazz 55-10-32 or Schulze Future 32.40k. The CC HV85 is the least expensive and works fine, you might want to buy the Castle link for easier programming of the ESC. The CC HV85 is about $180.00 and the Jazz is $280.00.
There are people that sell "Y" connectors, but its easy to make your own. Buy a package of Deans Ultra "Male" and "Female" and a couple of feet of Black and a couple of Red 12ga. stranded wire from your LHS and then make the "Y" connector like this. Sorry for the drawing, all I had at home to make it with was Excel.
You need to just charge 1 - 5S pack at a time, if you don't have a balancer and you charge Lipo packs without one they will not last. My recommendation would be to buy a TP1010 charger and a TP210 balancer. The balancer will talk to the charger while the packs are charging. If you do buy these two items read the directions on how to plug in the packs to the balancer or you will be sending it back for repair. If you have an Astro 109, then you either have a power supply or use your vehicle as power for it. If you have a power supply like the Astro 120 it will work for the TP1010 charger.
Let me know if I can help.

PS - I bet you didn't know how much it was going to really cost to go electric, did you.
