I dunno if you have already figured this out, but there are a few things to note. With lipo's just because the connector fits does not mean that it will work. Several manufatures use the same connector but wire them backwards.
I don't know if you have a way to take a better pic of the unit, but if you could take a closeup in focus pic of the 3s lipo port that could be helpful with a pic of the what looks like the polarity info on the top.
Also with that pic I cannot read even the brand name, let alone anything else. I do have a big screen so the pic looks smaller, but I have blown it up and I still cannot read it. Info on the charger such as brand name mfg ect would be great. Also if you have a direct link to the charger manual that would be helpful also.
The stock e-flight battery uses JST connectors, and it looks like so does that charger. So that is a step in the right direction. Now polarity just needs to be checked.
Also how many amps does it say this charger charges at? If it is not adjustable, and it charges over 800mA or 0.8A I would not use it.
If you can get back to me with this info, maybe I can help you some more =)
Thanks,

Hrm, that's better info, but I cannot read what is on the top. I looked up some info, and apparently it charges at 1.5A, so this means it will not work for anything under 1500mA. How big are the batteries you are charging?
If they are bigger than 1500mA, is there any way you can take a good pic of the top of the unit so I can read the writing on top? I searched and could not find a good enough picture to read what I need to read.
I also couldn't find a link to the manual on their website. If you know where the manual is online, that would be helpful too
Thanks =)
