AngelGrinder Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Look for the IMAX b6, all you'll ever need. Make sure to buy a proper power supply adaptor for it, should cost about £30ish altogehter. In the mean time, I would try not to use the cheap charger, Lipos are great batteries, but should be researched and respected. When you get your new charger, watch some videos on how it works on YouTube, and make sure you are charging it right. Bare in mind, as a good guideline, all lipos should be charged in about an hour. A 1300mah battery would be charged at about 1.3amps, whereas a 2000mah battery would charge at about 2amps. Also, it is recommended to discharge a battery when not being used for a few days (a decent charger will allow you to do this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauster Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 As above had my IMAX B6 for years and used it for r/c car batteries Ni-cads, LiPo and LiFe batteries. Its easy to use and if you get stuck there are loads of online guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauster Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 So maybe I'll just get the charger from hobby King as its geniuen That sounds like the best option as then your sure its genuine and just pick up a DC supply unit from somewhere.

Does any one know if this charger comes with the lead that plugs into the tamiya so I can balance my battery properly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted September 16, 2016 Supporters Share Posted September 16, 2016 Mine didn't, but they are only £2-3 max, on eBay for a Tamiya to deans adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauster Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I bought a lead of ebay for about £3 which had all different fittings made into the 1 lead which means I only have to keep 1 lead with my charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
