RE: CHARGERS
It will be fine if it stays in balance, but should be at least checked. I'd recommend checking each cells voltage at the balance tap when charged and then also an hr after the run.

RE: CHARGERS
Your charger will not balance it on it's own..
It is advisable to pick up either a stand alone balancer: http://www.commonsenserc.com/product...roducts_id=184
or a charger that will balance as it charges through the balancer plug: http://www.commonsenserc.com/product...roducts_id=185

RE: CHARGERS
Hello out there, I am in need of a charger, decycler. I use a 9 cell nicd for my Typhoon. I would like to scale up to LiPo soon for this foamy as the flight times in colder weather are not that long. In addition I am building a Vantage 60 for my 3rd plane and I will need a cycler for the standard Nicd pack. Does anyone have a recommendations for a charger that willdo this and not break the bank. I am the son of an electrician, however I know little about such things. Mental block TOOOOO many lectures?!!
