packs and chargers

[txflyer]

so what are you guys using ? im shopping around for a decent lipo charger and a 1300 lipo or higher. wanted to get some feed back. since weight can really affect the cp and the cp pro

ive been really considering the celectra charger, and using a pc power supply. but im not sure about the lipo pack tho.

I prefer to have two 800mah lipos than one 1320mah lipo. But if you must don't go higher than 1320mah. The heli is already bogged down above 1000mah.

Cellpro 4s is the best charger you will ever own, and its only $65.

you will also need the adaptor for E-Flite batteries.

you can buy direct from FMA, they ship quickly and have a very good reputation.

I use the cellpro 4s more than I use my expensive Thunder Power 1010C charger. It does everything you need it to do, automatically sets everything up, super safe, super easy to use. charges most packs to 90% in less than 30 minutes.

Personally I don't use the E-Flite batteries much as they can't provide enough power and the voltage drops off fairly quickly causing the tail to drift. I have found that the Thunder Power 740 Mah 2 cell battery is 10 times better than the e-flite ones. Full power through the whole flight as they are 15c capable vs. e-flite 8c capable. They don't fit in the original space, so I just tape mine in, works great!!

ya ive been wondering about the leads on thechargers. i need touse my eflite cells but i also want a 1300 pack cuz man thesee flite cells suck now that i can tail in hover a full pack im only getting like 8 minute flights..

Thunder power has a good 1320 pack. Light weight and pleanty of power.

i need to check my lhs cuz i will be buying my packs from them and i need a balancer that can charge e-flite packs and i think there thunder power packs that my lhs has.

carlo- the charger you linked to, is it already a charger\ balancer ? and the other thing you posted a link to is just an adapter for the different packs you can use ?

[carlo_the_wonder_frog]

Yes it charges and balances the battery, gives all charge info per cell and how much Mah were put back in. and yes that second link is the adaptor for E-flite batteries, you will need a power supply to run the charger.

I use a Thunder Power 3s 910mah and a Thunder Power 1010C charger.

im going to use a pc power supply. just gotta find one with out a soft start. im going to be using thunder power 1320 packs.

Then you need to get the thunder power adapter also if you will be using the TP packs, its on the same FMA site.
