Losi Lithium Charge Converter
Here it is...
http://www.teamlosi.com/Products/Def...rodID=LOSB9607
I was notified by a friend about this and I am seriously concidering buying it and using it on my Piranha Peak digital charger. This makes me want to try lipo/limn/liion so bad. What do you guys think?

If I do get the converter Ill most likely get this balancer- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXMGS7&P=ML
Since its made by Great Planes and that its a very reasonable price.

I would just spend the extra $20 and get a Quattro Plus 2-3 lipo charger.

Consider this also. It has been out a long time and I hear it works good. The tutorial is a nice one.

I also use the the Multiplex LN5014 charger which is $80 and then you need a power supply.
Both charges take the same amount of time to charge a 2s 2100mah lipo.

I'm interested in going lipo too, and you're better off to just get an all in one unit like hwshadows mentioned. When you add up the adapter, equalizer, and anything else you may need it'll be the price of a cheap lipo charging unit anyway.

If you can charge at a faster rate you can spend less time charging. I wouldnt want to be limited to 3 amps if I had a 6000+ mah pack.

Why would you want to charge at a faster rate?

if you have a 4000 mah battery u can charge at abouyt 1.1c, do 4.1amps, less down time, thats why u wanna charge faster
