Default Lipo Chargers



So, I finally got a 4s LiPo for my starter box. Even at whatever controlled packaging charge it came as (guy at LHS said probably 2/3 charged), I can see a huge difference. Funny thing, once I put the alignment pegs on, it's starts like a champ with stick packs.....but I do feel more comfortable bringing this to a race now.

Anyway, the LHS (not my usual) didnot have a charger for it. I'm lookingfor something inexpensive. All I need it to do charge, and let meknow when it is finished charging. I'm not looking for bells and whistles.

Will the one below work? My battery is a Venom 2100 20C. Forgive thenaive question, I'm new to this. Thanks!

If you are going to spend that much on a charger, then get the Datum ac/dc charger.

If they come back in stock the DC only version. I have (4). I sue converted PC power supplies when I am at home.

Or from Leaders

No way. John bleeds Nitromethane, he don't need no stinking badgers!
