Hello,

I have read that the eflite charger (the one that's supplied w/ bcpp) is not a true balancer. I have 2 lipos that are 3cell 800 mah (bcpp original) and wanted to know what charger I can use to charge these batteries using the balance plugs rather than the discharge leads.

I also have the Accu-Cycle Elite charger which I used for nimh bats but never lipos. In worse case, what should the settings be set at in terms of charging amps? I know when I set to 3c & 800mah, the charger automatically sets the amps to 0.15a. Can I set this as high as .80a since the bats are 800 mah?

I'm a noob when it comes to lipos and don't want to make a mistake.

I use a charger that goes through the discharge lead and a blinky balancer.

Where do you connect the blinky balancer to the battery?
