Status: offline 		Hi can any one help a newbee. I have recently bought a helicopter and decided to buy a "11.1v 2200mAh 12C Li-Po Rechargeable Battery" off of eBay. I want to get a charger for it, nothing to special but I cannot find a charger that does 12Cells or is the 12C somthing else. Anyway recommendations would be much appreciated as I dont have a clue. I would like to be able to use the charger indoors and out and about if that is possible but dont want to spend more on a charger than I did on the heli.
Many thanks.

The 12C is the discharge capability. It's max discharge rate is 12 time the (C) capacity. 2200 times 12 = current in ma.

The voltage indicates the number of cells to be 3. Each cell is 3.7 nominal volts and in looking for a lipo charger it needs to be a 3S capable unit. Most of them are 1-3S chargers. The S stands for the number of cells in series.

A hobbico Elite is a nice unit and is a dual unit as well.

Beware of some e-bay batts I had heard of some that used unsoldered leads that were merely twisted around the cell tabs.
