Default Battery question...

I have a li-po charger for my rotofly, just bought an EF Shogun used and didn't get a charger for the battery. The EF battery has two connectors, one to charge and the other to the receiver. Can I charge through the connector that goes to the receiver? I think it fits the roto fly charger.

I've never heard of a battery that has two wires, one for charging and one that goes to the receiver. Is it a lithium battery? A lithium battery usually has two separate connections, one goes to the ESC and the other is for balancing the cells. Can you take a picture of the battery or find a link to it, or tell us what make it is?

I agree with Charlie, I've never heard of such a battery. I have EvoFlight myself with LiPo and it only has one JST connector for charging and plugging to the ESC.

If the Rotofly charger will charge a 11.1v LiPo battery it will work. If it's for the 7.4v LiPo, don't try it.
