Torsion night blades

[mark Taylor]

Evening all
I just ordered some torsion 430 night blades,
as my align 425's failed on there first outing.
My queston is how do you charge them?
I just read on there site to charge them as a li ion BUT it then says you should charge them as a li po ????
Do they come with a charge lead?
I have copied what their website instructions say below
Please HELP
cheers

The Torsion Blades are powered by an integrated lithium-polymer battery. Charging this battery is possible with any charger that offers the following features:
*
- 1 cell Lithium-Ion charging mode
- Maximum charging-current: 50 mA
- Maximum charging voltage: 4.15 V
*
PIN-configuration:*

Just charge them as a single cell 4.15v Li-ion cell at 50mah

The 600mm's auto well

Mark .. no charge lead but make one up yourself .. courtesy of Rob Turnbull who pointed me in the right direction .... take a servo extension lead and cut away the plastic around one end so you end up with the 3 prongs sticking out the end .. then disco the white wire and pull the prongs out of it and then connect to n e charger that does one cell lipo and no more than 100mah though it ...need to fly more with mine Charlie

oh and just made up a load of jumpers for the night blades as well .. Maplins do em and just solder some wire from one pin to other one and make it the same as the ones that come with the blades .. Saves paying £3 for 2 when you can have about 300 + for the same price oh and make sure when you put the pins in you bend them a little so they stay in the connections

Do the 600 Ones come with a charger?

the blue led goes out after approx 3 mins run time on a full charge..
Now talking to a friend apparently the blue led is the first to go when the battery charge gets low,
So it looks like the the battery in one blade is not holding a charge
cheers

I would but most chargers inc mine ( cell pro 10s ) only go down to 0.1A (100mah)??????
So not that easy.

If you bought them from a UK shop they should swap them for you. When they are good they last ann hour or more like mine (425 and 600).
I had a pair of 325 aligns like that - but the replacements were good.

I think supplying blades with no matching charger, when the required current can't be set on most chargers, is a bit daft. None of my chargers will go below 100mA. I think the 600 blades that most folks have will take more current

quick search seems to show chargers that will do less than 100mA are like hens teeth and quite expensive...hope I'm wrong!

Most Bantam chargers charge at .5

I know mine does.

Having a job making out your sentence here but if you have a BC6-10 then yes it does charge at .5

Mine is the same charger.

Just received an email from petr
with regards charging his night blades


Dear Taylor
> Thank you very much for your email.
> Concerning of the chargeing so you can use every charger which is able to charge one call of lipoly and the max.current charge is 100 mAh. not over !!!
> Do not use any Align or MSComposit charger for our night blades because you would damage the baterrys inside of the blades.
>
> Best Regards
> Director of Torsion Blades company
> Petr Novotný


so it looks like i can charge it on my 10s
cheers
