Default Charging Lipo's without a balance connector:

I have a "Vision Peak Ultra" (VPU) charger. Cheap but it has worked for me. Now as I buy newer LiPo batteries they all have a balancing charge connector, whereas before my 11.1V LiPo's just had a 2 lead charging jack. The VPU charger doesn't do balanced charging. Can I charge my batteries via the batterie's power "out" (to airplane) leads?

That's brilliant advice "guver" (or is it "goober"). Seems like I've seen that bright light of yours shine with the same comment in other strings. I guess when you get a "good one" you stick with it. Thanks for the advice.

I'm not sure if you refer to the sig, the "delete" or this advise http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=8924182

I figured to answer in the batt/charger section was best.

Thank you. I apologize for being ignorant.
