BTW, a good 3 or 4 hour charge actually isn't a good charge. Reread the manual that came with your radio about charging the batteries. Most RX batteries take an initial charge of about 18-20 hours and after every flying session, take an overnight charge at minimum.

One piece of equipment you really should get is an ESV. Those battery checkers are worthwhile and might be the best piece of equipment every beginner should get first thing. They're dead cheap. And they teach you how to handle your batteries. The ones Tower sells are something like??? $20????
