Short answer Don't even attempt it. Be very careful to charge LiPo with the correct charger. Don't experiment. They can catch on fire if the are abused this way and ruin you whole day.

Don't do it. You need a charger that will do a 5S lipo pack. Most of the lipo chargers won't do a 5S pack. One of the chargers that does lipo's very well and does 5S lipos is the e-Station 301. Check it out. www.bantam301.20m.com

as with just about every one of SP's post... the question remains to be asked...


Whut???


This may sound rude, but I'm curious... is English your first language?? if not, that is fine, but your posts are always so cryptic...

We all LOVE to help but it makes it tough when noone can understand what you are asking.....

from the other posts you have, I highly doubt you have a 5 cell lipo pack......
so...what exactly are you looking to do??

As is the answer no it will not.

Please read all you can about LiPo batteries starting with the sticky at the top of this forum. They are not a battery to experiment with. You can ruin one simply by overcharging it or by allowing the voltage to drop below 3.0 volts under load. They are the most expensive batteries and without care have the shortest life. Respect them and they will give good service. Start to play with them and they will be toast before you know it. Plus the risk of fire if they are abused is very very real.
