charger for Lipos

looking to buy a Charger for lipos etc,not a complicated one or one thats has all the bells and wistles and will cost me 30 years Christmas Bonus. Plug into the Mains type.Any suggestions

I'm not 100% sure on this John but if you want to charge lipos from the mains you will probably need both a charger and a mains power supply for the charger which usually push out around 14 volts to your charger

I've had one of these for 18 mths now and it's fine no whistles and bells but will only charge at 2amps max but it's ok for my needs, a lot depends on what cells you're using and how much of a hurry you're in to charge them charger They do have a lipo charger for 2s and 3s on that website for less than $6

I would highly recomend one of these, Ive got 3 of them and there fantastic, you can charge upto 6s, then all your nicad`s and Nhims as well as any gell cells you may have for your flight box

with

Or without the 240 adaptor

without

the charger is availible under many different names if you wish to shop around, but i would highly recomend you go for a 50watt digi charger

Hi John
Looks good value, with a selection of charging leads included too.
Just check if it has an integral balancer for Lipo batteries.
