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 ???????? I still have my old power supply. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-accucell-6-50w-6a-balancer-charger-lihv-capable.html
I had bought the proper wall wart losi charger off ebay, but hey sent the wrong thing and had it listed wrong. It's a 2s 250mah, so I'm waiting for a refund.

That one looks like it doesn't have the Losi micro plug you need. Something like this would work also (with whatever battery connector you usually use for other stuf, Deans, XT60, Tamiya etc,)
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 cover me for lipo now ?
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 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...
The time is finally here...I'm going to LiPo. :lol:
After looking for a charger, the MRC Super Brain 992 Palm seems like a good choice for me. But I'd like to know if it will be capable of charging my LiPo's.
It's AC/DC, which I prefer, and...

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.
When setting the amp rate on my peak charger for nimh packs, I've always used the mah/1000 rule to set the amp rate on the charger. Example: 3000mah/1000 = 3amp.
I've recently read that it's safe to charge at twice the base rate, meaning...

Thanks for the clarification guys! Much appreciated.
How long should it take to charge 3300 NiMH batteries? I realize that the type of charger may make a difference, but just give me an average idea please. Last time I charged them I think it took like 30-45 minutes! Seemed like a real long time. I'm...

I ran Venom 3000Mah Nimh in my cars for a while. Some packs are crap, and others worked pretty well. I stayed away from Lipo because of all the horror stories of explosions I was hearing. Now I'm running Lipos in my bomber class car, and it's a...
