Noobie help. Batteries, chargers, power supplies.
Good evening all, I just purchased a used thunder tiger MT4 G3. I have been searching various forums and have purchased these batteries http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/s...dProduct=18643
I also purchased the HobbyKing E4 balance charger. Being a Noobie I didn't know it didn't come with a power supply. Reading the forums someone said I could use a 15V 5A laptop power chord. Is that correct? Will any work as long as they have those ratings? I found a bunch on newegg cheap. If that isn't the solution what is?

Yes, they are good batteries. The only problem I see is that they are a bit long. You may be able to squeeze them in, but IIRC, the MT4 battery bay is 140 in length, these batteries are 149 including cable. Like I say, with a bit of squishing you may be ok.
