Default Lipo question

I think this is a common since question but, How do you work this charger? http://www.hobb-e-mart.com/auctions/...l_DSC05566.jpg

I have never flown a Heli and bought a Blade CP pro. I have never even ran a electric anything. Thanks in advanced. Sorry for being such a n00be.

That link didn't work for me. But for most LiPos, you'll need:

>a charger
>a power supply
>a balancer

I was fortunate enough to find a package online that had a charger/balancer all-in-one and also included a wall charger.

The Blade CP Pro should include the charger and battery out of the box. Also, the included charger is supposed to have a built in balancer, though I've never seen it tested how well it works. If you wanted to move up to a nicer charger, I would recommend the FMA Direct CellPro 4S, but you shouldn't need anything out of the box; it's all in there.

Good Luck!

yeah the blade cpp has a charger with a balancer in it. It is accurate to plus or minus 0.02v between all of the cells (ie 4.18, 4.19, 4.2 or something). I would really recommend a different charger though... that one if it works, it works fine, but if it doesn't work, it really can cause problems.

no idea bout the other charger that you posted the link for, it doesn't come up for me either.
