Where to get good LIPO chargers

[Taiga]

As title states, looking for a decent lipo charger which I can have delivered within the next few days. I've seen stuff such as this on amazon and a few others on hobbyking (who sadly only have stock in hongkong currently).

But as I don't have much expeirnece with LIPO batteries I'd like some recommendations. Not looking to break the bank but also no looking to burn my house down!

Component shop if you need it asap. They do next day for under £10.

They have a Turnigy equivalent of the b6. 50W 5amp charge, with a power supply.

You should be balance charging using the little white connection block on the lipo. The connector you use for the gun can be variable, Deans, Tamiya, mini tamiya. I don't know what your batteries and guns run on.

If you want to use the charger to charge Nimh then you will need one of these

Read up on charging. It's' easy enough but there are rules.

You must understand the amps a battery can be charged at.
You must understand how to read a battery, and set a charger.

Every battery is different, So a charger is not a plug and play solution. You still have to set it for each battery, for both voltage, and charge current (ampage). And you will be expected to know how many cells, what the maximum charge current is, and how to program that into the box.


Charge in a fire proof location. If a charger says no to charging don't try to force it. If your batteries have damage or are swollen don't charge them.
