Li-Po charging questions
OK, I'm using E sky balancer charger EK2-0851 (came with Lama V4)
I read not to totaly discharge the battery.
I've been flying until the heli wont get off the ground anymore but the blades still turn pretty good.
How close is that to being totaly discharged?
Do I have to drain the battery like above before I can recharge it?
I'm charging one at work now but its not finished and its time to go home.
Is it safe to stop charging it and us it as is? with a partial charge or is that bad?
IT also came with alligator clips and a plug. It looks like I could hook it up to a car battery and charge at the field?
No mention of this in the instructions...
Thanks for any info
Steve

They really cost nothing and is worth every cent.
