Great info hpiguy.
But as far as using the OEM charger goes, how long do you charge the stock battery pack?
Until the newbies can get better equipment, the minimalist but workable battery pack and charger are sufficient to get them up and running in a reasonable amount of time.

I ripped my stock charger apart for parts on other projects the day I got it. What is the rated output in MAH of the wall charger? It should say like "Output 400mah" or something.
Simply take the 1700mah stated capacity and divide it by the output of the charger. That will give you how many hours to charge it for. Then add in an hour for peaking the voltage if wanted, but not really needed. Just make sure to keep feeling the pack every so often to make sure it isn't very hot.
