Hi, I am going to buy a Gaui 200 and have a few questions. I have a triton charger with tp205balancer. I used to charge 11.1v 3s 2100 lipo packs for my trex 450se. I only have deans connector lead for my charger and I noticed that gaui 200 lipo battery uses a JST connector. Which lead should I get for my charger to charge the stock gaui battery? At what amp should I charge the batt? Do you guys think this will work? http://www.readyheli.com/Hobbico_Tx_Rx_Charge_Leads_JR_p/hcap0105.htm

Charge the packs the same as you would your 3s packs.

So say, if a pack is 800mah charge it at 0.8amps.

This lead looks good but a bit more expensive : http://www.readyheli.com/Multi_Charging_Harness_p/rh5005.htm

So do you think the lead I linked will work w/ gaui stock battery? because I already have those leads and don't want to spend another $$:glasses2:

you can't charge a 2S LiPo at 11.1v, or you will have a fire

Ah... no, thats a rx flight pack charging lead, and it will have a standard servo type connector on the end
