So how do you charge these? Can you just plug the balancer plug into your lipo charger. I have the Venom 2 pro charger and I think it'll work.

i just cut the end off of the wall charger and used that . i think you have to have both plugs plugged in for the charger to work

Depends on the charger. I suggest on this small of a battery to buy a simpler balance port type charger. Meaning it charges using only the balance port, for example here is a link to one Bastens 30 Watt LiPo / Li-ion Battery Balance Charger - 2 3 or 4 cell batteries - great Parrot AR.Drone 1.0 OEM replacement charger - excellent Traxxas Losi Axial LiPo alternative charger option

That is correct. I charge thru balance connection. Use other connection in truck

It will charge a lipo 2700mAh 11.1V battery. Right now I'm using it to charge the same batter but 2100 mAh. You can set it for the mAh you need. You can charge all kind of batteries with it. And with all of the adapters you can connect to any battery. I do the balanced charge. What I like is that it gives me a readout while it's charging so I can see where it's at. When it's done charging it beeps and stops charging and also displays that it's done. One thing you will need to do is to get the power cord for it. Amazon carries those. I'm very happy with this charger.

Hey Neil, You need a balancing charger like the Common Sense RC 6 s balancing charger. I am sure there are cheaper chargers out there. I think I paid about 80 bucks for mine but I have multiple batteries of different sizes I charge with it.Do not let that be a deterrent in your decision to buy or not to buy the Kumba cam. I have used the heck out of mine and it works great. The best thing is even in super bright sunny conditions the picture is still really easy to see on the screen. The system works flawlessly every time. Hoe this helps.Barry

If you are referring to the 1.0 charger DO NOT use it with these batteries. If is is a electrical tape type material, it may be you got the wrong battery. There is a similar model without a case, but a wrapping. They work fine on the 2.0 charger but don't have the circuit which stops them from overcharging, and it is dangerous to overcharge them.

Get a Nitecore charger. Don't bother with any other charger for these batteries. Charge both of them when you get them.

Yes.. You will need a lipo charger.. Preferably with the capability to balance the cells.

Your LiPo battery should have a balance charging plug as well as the xt60. Attached together will be for 4 wires for a 3S, 1 red, 3 black. The xt60 should be the plug that connects to the esc. This charger will work for 2-4S battery. Hope this helps!

I don't think it comes with those plugs but you can easily solder up a set or buy a set cheap. This charger will charge your lipo just fine. Won't be really fast but it works. I keep one for a backup to my big setup.

I'm thinking of checking my local hobby shop for a LiPo battery and charger upgrade. I have been looking at various 7.4V LiPo batteries and chargers on amazon but I want to compare prices with my local store before I purchase. I haven't gotten the car yet but word is the charger and battery could use an upgrade and that the car is LiPo battery ready so I'm thinking it might be the solution, although they are about half as expensive as the car itself.

There is no plug on the Venom. There is a row of pond along the bottom that allows you to use the battery cell balance lead to connect it to the lipo battery to monitor each cells voltage, and the total voltage. Hope this helps. Keep flying

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!�

No. This will only work with NiMH and NiCd batteries. It does not provide the balanced charging adapter that is used to charge lipos. You will need to look for a specific LiPo battery charger.

I suppose you could but when charging Lipo batteries I wouldn't do that. Charging Lipo batteries safety is always a concern, unless you plan on being there during the entire charging process I wouldn't charge the batteries this way.

No sir, they don't have a balance charge lead like a LiPo does, you can't connect this to the main leads.

They are currently on back order... Redcat will advise me once they are back in stock. In the meantime you can get them from another manufacturer like the Venom 20C 2S 3200mAh 7.4 Hardcase LiPO Battery with Universal Plug. Which is truly a better battery. They go for about $26.00 online.

This is not a charger.it is an adapter that allows you to charge 2 lipo batteries at once with a lipo charger.if you buy a decent lipo fast charger it usually takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on battery and charger.

I would recommend getting a smart charger to charge any airsoft/rc battery. They are better than the stock charger
