does this charger have the ability to balence and charge 3s lipo out of the box? or do I need an adaptor to balence the cells?

Yes it does. The charger comes with an adapter that can balance the entire range of 2S, 3S, 4S, and so on. If you just plug it up and connect a battery it is not set to balance. You will have to navigate the menu to get to the Balance. Mine did not come with an XT60 charger plug, but it came with an extra wire without an end so I soldered my own XT60 end on it. You can buy this same charger labeled as another brand for about twenty dollars more. Also it will charge a wide range of batteries.

1 - Yes, it can charge and balance LiPo batteries of any size. It comes with a connector that works with any size balance plug. 2 - Whether or not you need an adapter is based on the main plug of your specific battery.

If you have a Tamiya plug your fine. If you have any other plug you will need an adapter. The charger does come with balance board though.

Yes this battery needs a LiPo type charger like the one sold here BASTENS easy to use fast LiPo battery balance charger 4Amp 1 2 3 4 cell batteries connectors included for 3DR Iris+ Aero Parrot AR Drone DJI Phantom XT60 Traxxas Losi EC3 Deans mini & standard Tamiya

I used the 3-cell 11.1v lipo all summer on it. Works completely fine. System is good for 14.4v.

You are going to need a quality charger as it does not come with one. It comes with NiCD batteries but to get the full potential from the RC you will want LIPO batteries. This is definitely not a cheap hobby to get into.

I will never purchase this charger ever again, if you read the 1 stars in reviews theirs just like mine and had basically the same problems. I ended up buying a B6AC 80watt 6amp charger for about the same price and have used it constantly for 2 years now with out a problem. But the answer to your question they both will charge NiMh,NiCd,LiPo,LiOn batteries.

Yes, it does charge lipos the correct way. It is a wonderful charger and I'm happy I spent the extra bucks. It's nice to know what you voltage is when you put the battery to charge. It's also pretty quick!

No, it will only charge 1 cell 3.7 v. mini lipos (as found in micro planes and copters).

The Hitec X4 Micro Multi Charger can charge 4 single-cell LiPos at once, and reports the total mAh put into the battery, which I find valuable since I'm flying a Nano QX FPV rig, and I don't want to drop it in a tree or on a neighbor's roof because the battery wasn't really charged. It's a nice little charger.

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.

No it doesn't but more importantly I suggest that you buy a LiPo battery. Here is a kit made for the wraith Bastens LiPo 7.4V 5000mAH hardcase battery & balance charger with included Tamiya connector adapter fits Axial Wraith SCX10 ARRMA Fury Granite Mojave Raider Truck Losi Night Crawler

Yes, you need to set the ESC to LiPo mode to avoid ruining the battery. Also, if you don't already have one, you need a LiPo compatible charger.

The charge, discharge rates and minimum discharge voltage rating should be printed on the battery. From what I understand you should never discharge a LIPO below 3 volts per cell. So for a 2S battery it would be no lower than 6 volts over all.

Should work just fine. Just like Flipswitch said, line up + and - pins on charger, then insert battery. Use my charger every day for spare batteries for Samsung Galaxy S3. Works great, never a problem and never without a spare fully charged battery. Highly recommend this charger.

I have used my Canon charger to charge my batteries and they have worked flawlessly. Since they didn't come with their own charger, I guess it was kind of assumed we would use the OEM charger or purchase one separately. Hope this helps.

Yes it will the plugin receptacles are for the different types of the different sizes of LiPo batteries. 1 - 4 cells.I use the 3s connection myself.

These are meant to plug into the balance plug of a LiPo or similar multi-cell battery. If you just have one cell with a Dean's plug, I don't know of an off the shelf adapter for that. You may have to make one.
