Hello, thank you for reaching out to us. This charger does have a Storage control for lithium batteries. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact our technicians and they will be able to provide further details. Thank you - ServoCity

No it does not. You have to plug it into a wall outlet or you can hook it up to a lipo battery --- not included.

In order to jump start--yes. There is no storage capacity in the charger itself. I bought it to run diagnostics on Optima Batteries.

acording to the instructions, it goes into a "maintenance" mode after the battery is fully charged, which can be left connected indefinately. I have not personally tested that feature. I have not been able to bring back a "failed" battery with this charger or it's close competitor, as tested on several batteries. It does seem to extend the life of a near failure battery, but only experienced on one so far.

Battery charger. If you want it to go faster u buy Lipo batteries but you will need a lipo charger. They do sell chargers that will charge both type of batteries

It does not need a specific charger, it just needs any charger that is capable of charging lipo batteries.

No. This does not store a charge it only charges while your device while it is plugged in and the charger is under the sun

In theory, the charger with which it comes includes an internal voltage-sensing cut-off switch: so the battery stops receiving charge current once it's capacity is filled. That said, it's never good practice to leave any battery on charge longer than necessary - especially LiPos. This generation of batteries are infinitely more performant than previous generations: yet they are also more delicate. They may swell and seemingly heat-up on use. Never start charging a cell that is even slightly hot - such as it may well be immediately after using it: allow a few minutes for it to cool. Be careful of shorting the connectors whilst storing during Travel... Isolate from potential sharp objects that could puncture the skin... (Keep away from pet's teeth..!!) If not using for some time, recharge to filled capacity and then use for 2 minutes prior to storage (80% full)... I store mine coddled in fine sand, three to a sardine-can sized old metal chewing tobacco tin: in the event of a fire, these cells burn at very high temperatures and need to be starved of all oxygen - and even then, the damage that can be caused in even a short time, may be significant... Bottom line : RESPECT the integrity of these cells and they will give great service.

Yes. The charger is a smart charger. When the battery is fully charged, it goes into a hibernation mode and will maintain the battery, without overcharging it.

There is now way to do a "storage charge" with this charger.I think you are thinking about NI-CAD batteries, this charger is intended primarily for LI-PO batteries.

You can store any kind of packs, as long as the packs don't touch each other and are stored in a cool place you'll be good, I store my lipo packs in the boxes they came in.

Yes it have the 3, but maybe you will going to upgrade the battery for a lipo, and the charger for one that doesnt take to much time.

Yes it does. My suggestion would be to plug it in while using it, then unplug just before you take them out. The charger will last longer that way.

I don't know - I threw this POS in a drawer because it's total junk - I bought an iCharger 306B with a paraboard and it's the best charger I have ever owned! Up to 6 lipos at a time and perfectly balanced every single time!

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.

Nope. You will need a battery and charger. 2s lipo is a good place to start. You will need a special charger for the lipos. Add about a hundred bucks if you want mid grade nicer stuff

Yes, when I am not using it, I do leave it on the charger. I tried not putting it on the charger for a while, but it doesn't have as much power as when I leave it on.
