MS Composit LiXX charger substitute

[Pinion]

Ok... Finally go the MS Composit tail blades.... The voltage off of these things is kinda wierd... less than 2 volts..... Didn't realize they required a special charger "MS-00108". That nobody seems to have in stock on this side of the atlantic....

Is anyone charging these with any sucess with a lipo charger?
And does anyone know how big the cell is in the blade?
My Hyperion duo II does a great job with my Torsion night blades.....

Blue Skies,

Unless things have changed recently - the battery in the blade is ~ a 25 mAh single cell Li-Po.

Fact that's it's a lithium cell and most likely either Li-Po or Li-Ion - cell voltage is 3.7V Nominal - 4.2V max.

The MS-0108 is a fixed 4.2 volt output - capable of around 22mA (well- that's the current measured when charging a partially charged blade).

If you have a Li-PO charger that will go to 1-cell and drop to ~ 50mA (charge two blades in parallel - hence ~ 25 mA per cell) - should be good to go.

My experience with the MS Composit tail blades and using my Triton charger in the above config - the blades will be charged to ~ 80 to 90% capacity.
If I allow the MS 0108 charger to "sit" all day on the blades (recall the charger is fixed to 4.20v) - the blades get just a bit more run time as the battery gets fully topped-off.

You can use the Align HS1301 (325 & 425 Carbon Night Blade Charger) for charging the MS Composit Night Tail Blades.

thanks guys....... got them charged using the Align charger

I Just received the mscomposit tail blade from my LHS and I notice that the battery is totally dry, neither with the Align or my Bantam or Triton chargers I can charge the tail blades...when I give a try the tail blade battery comes too hot

I did like this person said, i used a 0.1A in parallel. My blades are MS-20325Li
Im happy
