Default need help with celectra

Is the E-flite Celectra compatible with the E-flite 3-cell 2100mAh battery?

First off it's very interesting. I did a Google and found two LiPo only chargers with that name. The first is for a 1 to 2 cell LiPo charger and the second is for a 1 to 3 cell LiPo charger. Since you don't state what type of battery chemistry the pack is your want to charge I'm assuming that it's a LiPo. Because you state your trying to charge a 3 cell pack the 3 cell charger will work and the 2 cell charger won't. If it's a NiMh or NiCd pack it won't work period. This sounds so simplistic I wonder why it was posted? If I'm missing something I'm sorry but this seems akin to asking what is color of the black car.

It occured to me that perhaps your post was what rate to charge at since the Celectra only offers 250mA, 500mA, 1A, 1.5A and 2A rates. Always charge LiPo packs equal to or below their rated capacity. If your pack is 2100 mAh the 2 amp rate or the 1.5 amp rate will work fine. 2100 mA equals 2.1 A. You just move the decimal to the left 3 places.

I have a Celectra 3 cell charger and yes this one will handle it. Kinda self explanatory since you must select the number of cells on the front. Also, selection of charge rate. Mine works as advertised.
