  • Which battery charger?

    Can anyone recommend a lipo battery charger/balancer? Preferably a smart charger to prevent over charging.

    Thanks

    FMA CellPro (up to 4S) or BalancePro (up to 6S).

      Cellpro. The 3rd li po charger I owned, and the best by a mile.

          How many cells do you want to charge and what size? I'd agree that the Cellpro is great for up to 4S packs as it balances and charges all in one but for larger packs and higher capacities there are lots of options and a wide price range - how much do you want to spend

            i am using the BalancePro for my 6 cell packs and i am using the adapter for the 3 cell packs.
            i have a couple of other chargers but with the balancePro i can monitor and record the progress of the cells as they are charging, on my pc.

            ideal if you are a geek who likes to keep records of the condition of your packs. also as you know you are arent supposed to take the charge below 20% capacity, so you can increase your timer to the nearest second and still not risk damaging the packs.

              Cellpro for 4S. Great charger at a good price. Kind to lipos.

              Schultz if I really want to punish my lipos by stuffing them full with extra heli-juice - a bit like force feeding pate de fois gras

                my vote would definately go for the Cellpro if your only looking to up to 4 cells
                All the best
