I don't think you will get much run time on the lipos.

That and they're only 9.6 A continous current draw. Not to burst your bubble or anything but you could have done better by ordering you stuff from HC.

If I were you I'd get what money back I could.

why do u say that? the 640mah? I ran my buddies 730mah 3cell and I was pretty happy with it. These seemed a better deal then to get cheap hong kong ones with 1000mah.

Depending on what you're running it in...size and power output make a big difference.
And FYI, hobbycity sells some good ****. Let me go make a small package to demonstrate.

wow, with a 9.6a draw I hope those batteries are going in a Micro-T.

If not you'll have a nice little fire on your hands.

Yea, Hopefully you can get your money back.. 9.6amps isn't even near enough. Also thats just a lipo balancer not any good for anything above 750mah IMO.

No, it is a charger. It's just analog, non-adjustable, low output, charge cells individually type of charger. They can be bought for $5 on hobbycity, and the work really well for $5, I've used one on a 5000mah 3s battery.

Long enough. The battery itself is being used to power a transceiver in my dad's airplane. The plane doesn't have a built in electrical system and all the avionics run off the pitot tubes. He wanted a battery to give his transceiver more use time before having to put it on the charger. Worked out well , he can just plug in the Lipo the day before or fly in the evening, which is what he usually does.
