Default RE: NEW TO ELEC PATTERN ,INFO NEEDED

It really seems to be that easy. I have found the biggest problems I've had with lipo batteries is either leaving them fully charged, or not flying a few 'warm up' packs - you really should cycle them 5 times or so before using a lot of power.

The modern, quality chargers really take care of a lot of issues. They balance the packs, tell you when things aren't right, and are pretty easy to use.

When charging: you will likely charge two packs in series. You MUST have the battery that is plugged into the NEG lead also be on the NEG balance port.
