Can I use this to charge my lipos?

[Glitch]

I’m finding myself wasting money on small chargers specifically for the batteries I’m buying. Can I use this to charge my batteries instead? https://www.readymaderc.com/product...te-josh-bardwell-parallel-charging-board-2-6s
I see it has red and black connectors for the power input to the board, what would I need to power it? Also, are there any other safety precautions I should take besides the usual lipo bag? Thanks

That is not a charger. That is a board you plug into the charger to charge multiple LiPo's at one time.

Use this little calc to find out how much power you need for charging... https://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/chargercalc.html

Aha, thank you! Is there a reason why I would not be able to use an adapter and figure out a wall plug situation? Thanks!

Not sure what you are asking, but going cheap or underpowered on a charger is not a smart move. What's your biggest battery?

Just 3s

Then I would go with this charger

This is the charger I use the most for my 3s lipo's. The one WF recommended is a good choice as well. Any good dual output charger is going to be in the 100 dollar range. The one I linked will charge Nimh packs as well. Beware, the adapters that come with it are not of the best quality.

This is another good option, a little more user friendly and comes with good quality adapters although a little more money.

Glitch, here's a charger off my wish list. I like it because it is affordable and measures IR of the battery pack. It'll do your 3S up to 10A. Hope this helps in your search. 'AC'

ProTek Charger

Id also recommend the HOTA charger that WickedFog linked. If you're on a super tight budget then the Protek or the HTRC would work

ProTek Charger

I just ordered one of these. it had the features I was told a good charger should have.

I outgrew that charger quickly when I started charging bigger packs.

That's fair. I only have one 2s at the moment. So I figured it'll suffice for the time being.
