By no means, should you be charging a Li-Po on the way to the field.
Why is that? Sorry for the lack of info given; it would be a charger such as a triton or accucycle elite, something along those lines. If I can't charge on the way to the field then it would be beneficial to be able to charge two batteries at once, right? How do you experienced electric fliers deal with that. If it takes 1-1.5 hrs to charge a LiPo, wouldn't I be better off with a charger that will charge more than one at a time?
Also, I have noticed that a lot of chargers like the Smart chargers, Kokam and Celectra don't have variable charge rates. You have to pick a 1000 Mah rate for a 1200 or 1320 Mah battery, for example. Is this a problem? How much longer should I expect to have to charge a 1300 battery on a 1000 setting than if I could just select a 1300 setting as on a Triton or Accucycle?
As you can see I have lots of questions since I am new to electrics so please bear with me.\
Thanks,
Brian
