Charging a life battery.

[Guest]

Hi all just bought a life battery for my tx just wondering how do i charge it i had nimh in my tx and charged them through the tx port on a nimh setting on my charger now this being my first life battery thought i would ask on here first.
Thanks in advance.

You can charge the LiFe the same way as a LiPo so 1C or half if you'd rather. Not sure you'll be able to charge it through the Tx battery port unless your Tx can do multi chemistry.

Edit : Slightly misleading answer you need a charger that is capable of LiFe charging but use the same approach as LiPo, balance if there is one and apply the charge rate of 1C. So your 2300mah LiFe will be fine on 2.3A

You need a specialist LiFe balance charger


Don't use the charger port. Take the battery out and do it somewhere safe. I'm not an expert on LiFe but if they are like LiPo they need special care when charging.

No....LiFe and LiPo are different chemistry and need different charging regimes.

You need a LiFe charger
