I use a Imax B6AC. Make sure it is a genuine product as there are a lot of copies out there. I purchase mine from here: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=36905. There are plenty of setup instructions on you tube. Also a good idea to get a lipo bag to use during charging: Free US Ship Lipo Battery Fireproof Bag Storage Bag Lipo Battery Guard Safe Bag Fiber Material for Charge & Storage 22x18cmhope this helps.

Imax and Turnigy make popular lipo balance chargers. Some have built in dc power supplies, some don't.

Most Lipo Balance Chargers will use bullet/banana style connectors. Here is one available through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00INEX6K6/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?qid=1420585080&sr;=8-16π=AC_SX200_QL40&dpPl;=1&dpID;=51ZLzrG%2BEeL&ref;=plSrch

I personally like the iCharger line. I have a 106B that works great for my needs.

The best answer to you question is to refer to your manual and contact customer service. You definitely do not want to ruin your charger investment by not using the right charger. I have 2 or 3 of the Power-monkeys so this never became an issue for me.

Which Deans connector? Mini, no, but it may have one for the larger style. I need to check the packaging. So far it has been a great charger.

This company folded a long time ago. Try EBay, flea markets or drill charger type charger I gave the specs here a while ago.

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!

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!

Ps, I read a post after I wrote that any charger will work on Duracell's. My comment to that persons claim Duracell sucks, not true. I use AA/AAA BATTS AND I LOVE THEM. I use them on several (high demand) items they last super long. From video controllers to my house phone (1 full charge will last about a week, only put I on the cradle once a week)!

Sounds like you want to use a NiMH charger (7.2v) for the LiPO battery (7.4v). No, that won't work... it will likely burn up the battery. You have to use a LiPO charger.

do you have anything that has more amps? im more sorta looking for a faster charger

here is a charger for this battery http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00991KGTQ but if you want one that is backwards compatible with your OEM hard cased battery than check this one out Bastens LiPo Battery Balance Fast Charger for Parrot AR Drone batteries including the 2.0 / 1.0 type and all aftermarket versions

Thanks to everyone for their kind help. I found one that will hopefully work for me. I was looking for one that I could plug into a lipo battery charger.

I am using the Nitecore 2 battery charger. Runs under $20. Charges li-on, NiMh, etc. Works well.

I have quite a few 1S lipos for my micro helis and quads. I use the Hitec X4 micro charger for my 1S lipos including these. It has 4 seperate adjustable rate charge ports and is AC/DC. Each charge port has 4 charge plugs on it. I like being able to charge 4 lipos at one time. The X4 micro retails about for $50.

By that I guess you mean ones that this charger was not designed to work with right? Well, that is a little tricky based on what you are trying to charge. If it is a commercial battery for a drill, you can get something similar to this if you just type the drill's name or model. You don't have to worry about typing the specific battery model number or the specific charger model number and you will see a few results for just the charger mixed in with the results. I typed craftsman 19v and found this one. If you are trying to charge something else or another tool or battery by another manufacturer and you don't know exactly what you are doing, you are asking for trouble but I will give you a few tips. 1) Lithium ion batteries are ticking time bombs. They will explode if over charged with too much voltage or current. 2) LiPo will explode if wrong polarity is used. 3) Most of them have protections from the things that make them explode and some even have them per cell. Some of them though rely on the charger to be smart enough not to over charge and have odd terminals so you can't charge it in any other charger. 4) They all operate in series and some, like this one, even charge in series. Thus with a multimeter, find the polarity of the battery you want to charge and the approximate voltage (I.e. if you have a 24 volt battery and it has 4 terminals and per two terminals you find that they are 10 volts each when low on charge then one can assume that you have 2 sets of 12 volt batteries in a series) then just get some alligator clips and clip them to another power source or power adapter of the same voltage and then sawpt them between the series. One time I really needed a device and I forgot the charger and I did this by connecting the alligator clips to my car for 30 mins then I swapped them to the other terminals for 30 mins too and it got me out of trouble. Just be really careful not to overcharge. Hope this helps.

I have this battery and I use the Traxxas 2933 6amp lipo charger. Easy to use and charges battery in about 45 minutes.

No, if you over discharged the Lipo the charger will not charge if the voltage is too low.
