Your theory I'm sure is correct LTO. The cells aren't all that sensitive anyway and I'm sure 4.2v in each will make a fine run for months to come. The balancing taps are a PITA. They're all proprietary(thank you Firefox ). I'd give it a go while monitoring it closely just to error on the side of caution. And charging time I'm sure is as much of an issue with you as it is with me. I run my non-racers maybe once a month if they're lucky!
EDIT: I was posting the same time as jun, if you have to choose I'd listen to him(or anyone else for that matter )over me any day.

Well, I may just order a balancing harness to be safe. The instructions for my charger says it uses XH-style connectors and my balance board has a 3, 4, and two 5-pin connectors, one of the 5-pin connectors connects to the charger. So if I'm right, then this balancing harness with an XH-style connector will plug into my balance board, correct?
That's totally different than my system so I can't answer, but I believe that is the most popular tap. Someone will know for sure. For now I really do think you're safe to charge it and try it out.

Sorry I was out a few days, but that definitely looks like XH to me. It is the most common connector as far as I've seen. Most inexpensive ebay batteries come with that type.

O.K. so I'm finally to the point of having to charge my new LiPo battery and try my re-build out. I have a digital balance charger and was reading the instructions and have a few questions. First, they give me the option of a regular charge,...

Opps! :oops: I meant 3.8 volts per cell. Not sure what I was thinking.

I have a couple of Novak Digi Peak Plus chargers that Ive accumulated purely out of nostalgia's sake and also have some new old skool Sanyo Nicad's which i want to charge, store and care for in a proper manner.
Now if my memory serves me we used...

Thanks heaps Mark. You have a wealth of knowledge on this stuff. Cheers-Jason
I traded some stuff and ended up with a couple of those Losi Micro trucks. One is brushless and uses this LOSB0863 battery, 2s 7.4v 180mah and I haven't got a charger for lipo at all. Will this do and maybe be useful when I get other lipo batteries...

The harness I posted says a blank pair of wires that you can connect your own plug to if necessary. So I guess I can solder this connector on. I ordered the charger and harness while they were offering the charger to me at 27.91 . Will this charger...
I just ordered a LiPo battery and neglected to purchase a fireproof bag. Should I get a back before charging the battery?
Thanks,

I have never, ever, ever seen a lipo failure except when that voltage went over threshold of close to 9v on purpose for that extra edge on the track.
I have. A friend of mine was charging a 3s lipo in one of his Spektrum DX2 radios when it went on...
It's finally time to charge some LiPos I recently purchased with a Duratrax Onyx 230 charger that I'll be giving to my friend. Call me paranoid, but I want to make sure I do it right. I also have an iMax B6AC charger which I found a nice YouTube...

remember that the ammo case is metal so if your battery leads are questionable, please be careful!
Good thought, we should all keep that in mind. I did not think of that. Reason being is that all of my lipo's are very new and I try to treat them...
I have an RC10 gold pan that i believe is close to stock. It has an Associated motor that has a blue sticker wrapped around it. It doesn't have reverse. I want reverse! My hobby shop said it's not possible.
I'm thinking all i need is a speed...

You also need a new Hobby Shop!!!!!
^^^YEAH THIS!!!^^^
If you can afford brushless right off the bat, they can be programmed to do fwd/brk OR fwd/brk/rev. Very handy. Plus they are faster and more energy efficient which means your batteries will...
