Charging question

[nhjeffs]

I have been away from r/c stuff for quite a few years now. Just started learning heli with an mCPX and have a question on the batteries for this thing. The single charger that came with it works but is slow. How would I go about charging multiple 1 cell 3.7volts batteries?

Can I just get this charger:

with this charging harness: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...g_Harness.html

and charge up to 6 of the 1cell batteries? I'm am totally clueless with this lipo stuff.

Thanks,
Jeff

You are looking to PARALLEL charging your batteries.

That is what it is called.

A very good way to charge several batteries at one time.
But the batteries should all be fairly close in charge state to do this.
I think I read somewhere that it was recommended that the cells be within .4V of each other.

The charger you are looking at is only 58WATTS. Pretty light duty, which is fine for your small batteries, depending on the mAh and the number you plan on charging at one time.

Just total up the mAh of all the batteries to get the total rate you should charge at.

Hi,

I use the M4 to charge my 1S 70ma cells for my Vapor & Ember. I made this parallel charge pigtail so I can charge 1 - 3 cells.



The M4 can output up to 4 amps for 1 - 3 cells and up to 3 amps for 4S pack.
