Default RE: Power supply question

You cannot safely charge a LiPo from a 12v source without some sort of intermediate LiPo charger.

12v may supply voltage to a charger... is that what you have in mind?

You beat me to it, Jose. I was wondering about that statement "12 volt source" to charge a LiPo battery. This technology requires, big REQUIRES a charger that is designed to charge LiPo battery packs. Trying to charge it otherwise could, probably would, cause the battery pack to disintegrate with devastating results.
