After many years flying with glo power I am playing with Stevens Aeromodel aircraft and have a question about the Hyperion G3 battery for the Quick Oats 100 that they sell. They recommend and sell the Hyperion G3 130mAh 3.7V 25/45C Lipo battery for this airplane. It uses the Parkzone Ember receiver. I just bought this battery and was wondering what would be a good charger for this? The ad copy says they can be safely charged at the 5C rate in 10 to 12 minutes. Heck, I don't even know what that means. I have a Tahmazo T15Plus charger and a FMA Cellpro Multi 4 and even an old Apache 2030 Smart Charger. I suspect one or more of these can charge this battery, but are not perfectly suited for the 5C rate. I think. Please educate a newbie to electrics and maybe a recommendation for a charger.

If you're on a budget it's easy to pick up one of the parkzone or eflight single cell chargers that is made for those cells. They take 4 alkaline batteries and have a light that turns off when the charging is done.

That's an easy solution and I appreciate the suggestion, but these Hyperion Generation 3 batteries can be safely charged up to 5 times (5C) their charge rate in 10 minutes according to the ad for them. I was just looking for a charger that could charge a single cell battery this way.
