Polycharge ???
Hi Guys,
Totally new to the Lipo scene and i'd like your expertize on the subject before I start charging up the battery. The battery is a TP 2S 1900 meant for my Mini T. The charger that came with it is the POLYCHARGE by Electrifly. Its a simple plug and play but I don't know what charge rate it should be on. The given options are 250/ 500 /1000 mA. Appreciate any info u guys can share.
Happy thanksgiving everyone!!!!

RE: Polycharge ???
Per the instructions http://www.greatplanes.com/manuals/gpmm3010-manual.pdf
"It is highly recommended NOT TO
EXCEED a “1C” charge current setting for your
battery. “1C” equals the rated capacity of the
battery. So, a 1200mAh battery should not be
charged at a current greater than (1200mAh x 1)
1200mA. A 650mAh battery should not be charged
at a current in excess of (650mAh x 1) 650mA, and
so on. Never attempt to charge batteries at
excessive rates, as permanent damage could
result to the battery, charger and the
surrounding area!"
Hope this helps. I recently won a Polycharger on ebay. Hope to see it soon.

Mini T is a 1/18 scale Truck from Team Losi. Hence the name "Mini-T" I had a buddy who got his to do about 60MPH. Then again, he was working for hacker at the time and he is sponsored by Losi
