Goodday to all,

Question:
Will the BCPP charger (0.8A output) work with batteries i would need for the TREX? Is the e-flite batt 800maH enough for the REX? probibly not. . .

Also will the batt charger connection in the lipo balance charger itself fit the batts needed for the TREX?

(im trying not to have to by a charger for a TREX if i get one. . . is that possible?)

thanks,
-Evan

It may work depending on the batts you buy for the rex but the rex batt will be well over 800mAh and charge slow on the eflite charger (slow charging=[&o])....
however at the cost of setting up a Trex I think the cost of a new charger will be a very small % of your total investment.
a trex is $200 to $500
radio equip is $200 and way up
gyro is $50 to $200
bl and speedcontroler is $100 and up
batts and $75 to $100+
I believe most people wind up spending around $1000 for a nice trex setup.... a good $50 to $150 charger would be a good investment to go with such a nice bird.

yeah, you're right.

I was just trying to come in under a 650 dollar budget for the get up (keeping the wife happy) and a charger will put me over. . . oh well.
any good recomendations? I thought about the one that charges 4 at the same time. . . you just dial in the maH of the batt for that one hook up. . . its $100. . .not bad. but if i do that then i might just buy new batts for my giant planes that are lipo (guy at field loving them for Giant scale) and use that charger all around.

any sugestions?

I use the 800 mA EFlite charger that came with the BCPP to charge the 2250 mAh battery for my MX400, you will use a similar battery in the TRex. Almost 3 hours to charge, but I believe that it is better for the battery, and it takes _me_ at least that long to repair, I mean recover, from the 12-15 minute flight.

If you try to use the 800 mAh EFlite battery in the TRex you will kill the battery pretty quickly, it can't sustain the current drain required.

This 2250 mAh battery has a compatible charge connector on it. But you can make/buy adapters depending on what you have and need.

I just purchased the FMA Direct cell pro 4s balance charger. And I am impressed. I paid like 90 bucks for the charger pc adapter, two battery adapters(one for e-flite and one for Thunder pro). This charger lets you watch the voltages in each cell and lets you adjust amperage.[link=http://www.fmadirect.com/products.htm?cat=45&nid=4]Cell pro 4s[/link]. This so far has been a good little and inexpensive charger.
