Li-po charger
My old charger [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHNW5&P=ML]Great Planes Polycharge[/link] for my heli stopped working. Just out of nowhere. Its out of warrenty, so im thinking about this... http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id...60&pid=U867328 . Nothing special, but i think its all I need. Just wondering if there was a better charger in this price range, or if this was just bad, and I should avoid it.

RE: Li-po charger
I think I found that charger, but its too expensive. I really have not reason to pay $70 for a charger, when i only need a very basic one. The one I picked is only $30, but I dont think thats because it bad quality, but because it doesnt have all those special features. I just posted here to make sure it is still quality.

RE: Li-po charger
probably any of those settings would do you just dandy. The higher setting would be about 75min charge where the lowest setting would probably be a 12 hour charge. I'd probably stick with 500mAh - 1200mAh

RE: Li-po charger
Ok, thanks. Ill use the 1200mA, when i just decide i want to fly, but like the 500Ma, when I charge in advance. Just because I heard charging slower is safer, for the battery

er you go. up to 4s .5,1,1.5,and 2a charge rates. even charge two 2 cell packs. On the cheap. I got one, works great, nothing fancy but gets you into the current era of balance chargers...its safer too.
