Lipo Chargers

Never Charge a lipo with a charger that is not made for lipos. Never charge over the rate suggested by the manufacturer. If possible charge at a lower rate it will add life to your pack. Lipos like constant voltage and current while charging so avoid voltage or current spikes while charging. If you use your car battery to charge while at the field. Do not start you car while charging.

 Lipo Safety/Use Info Please see our disclaimer, guarantee, and a few suggestions here

Wiring diagram for our standard balance connector can be found here and are compatible with the balance chargers on this page with the common Align balance plug.

 


2-3 Cell Lipo Charger

Here is a simple entry level lipo charger. We brought it on to help those who want to move to lipo's but may not want to pay for the high dollar chargers until they are sure they are going to make the jump. Or for the folks who need a small charger for the field box. Also a great small charger to use at the office. A few have purchased power supplies and use them to charge at work for a lunch time flight.

Using it is easy. Simply select 2 cell or 3 cell from the dip switch on the face. Attach the charger to the power source. Plug in the battery.

Charger comes with JST connector attached to the charge port, and alligator clips to connect to your field battery or power source. We are also including a male Deans connector should you want to retro fit it to deans.

Auto select charge rate of .8A - 1A (will exceeded 1C charge rate on any pack less then 800mah). Input voltage 10V - 15V. Red led indicates power, yellow indicates charging, green indicates charged.

Size: 3 1/8 Long, 2" wide, less then 1" thick.   Weighs 2.5oz. with plugs.

PowerPilot Voltage Meter Discharger & Balancer

 

PowerPilot Voltage Meter , Discharger & Balancer For 2- 6 Cells Li-Po & Li-Fe Battery 

Main Functions: Voltage Meter, Discharger, & Balancer

Big LCD Display: 2.3in. x 1.1in. (60mmX30mm) 

The Balancer / Discharger is designed for Li-Polymer and Li-Fe battery (A123), it measures overall battery voltage as well as individual cell voltages precisely. This unit also balances cells voltage in battery packs, and it can discharge individual cells as well. A great unit for long time storage.

The balance Function: Simply plug in your battery (Lipo or A123). Press the mode button. Press the up or down arrow to set minimum cell balance voltage.

The Discharge function: Plug in your battery, press the mode button twice, set the minimum discharge voltage with the up or down arrow to store minimum cell discharge voltage limit.

What I really like is it is compact and easy to use. I use it often right after a flight to see how low I ran the pack, or if I have enough for another quick flight. It helps me immensely to set flight times.

We brought on this charger to speed up the charging process on the bigger packs and being able to charge batteries other then lipos. This is pretty close to a do all charger and competes directly with other chargers in the $140 price bracket. It comes with an array of charging connectors. It can be powered by field battery or an A/C wall power supply (not included). It is the updated version with Deans connectors. So if you use deans you will not seed to solder on your connector. It has several safety features such as time cut of, temperature cut off (internal charger temp only), and capacity cut off. One of the little perks I like is a beeper to let you know when charging is done (can be turned off as well). When it gets down to actual use of the charger it shines. It can be used to charge out of the discharge port. Or is also a balance charger. During charge it will show you input voltage, pack voltage (individual cell voltage when balance charging), how long the pack has been charging, and capacity the battery has been given. For a lipo guy like myself the best feature by far is the ability to handle up to 5-cells and charge at a 5 amp rate if I need it. If you want to charger A123 cells look at the Imax B6 Below.

Until you are willing to follow all safety precautions, DO NOT use lithium batteries.

Lithium Polymer batteries were designed for mobile devices and not for R/C use. Although some manufactures now see the R/C market as a good viable market. In general Lithium polymer technology was not originally intended for high rate use as in R/C applications. Therefore, the technology of Lithium Polymer batteries in radio-controlled models is to be considered experimental (not just ours all of them). Our cells come from a factory whom makes cells specifically for R/C use. But please follow all guidelines and precautions that are set for lithium polymer batteries. The R/C hobby is fun, it can be a daily escape, relaxing, and offer extreme thrills. The last thing we want is someone to be injured, or suffer property damage from their hobby.

We suggest you follow AMA safety precautions with any Lipo battery. Since we cannot guarantee customers will follow the proper safety precautions and use an appropriate well functioning charger with the correct settings, therefore, Mile High RC, it's agents, distributors, employees, associates, etc..  assume no responsibility for the use of Lithium Polymer battery products by our customers. Your purchase and use of this product means you accept our terms and you are fully responsible for any consequences of your use. That being said we do guarantee or packs to be free from defects of parts and or faulty workmanship.

So far with the ESL cells the only cause of pack failure has been shorting while installing a connector, or not having the pack connected properly (exposed wires). Please learn from past customers & personal experience. Do not expose the wires on both leads at the same time. Trim one wire attach to connector, cover, then work on the second lead. If you decide to use bullet type connectors (not recommended) we suggest making one lead shorter then the other. This limits the chance of  +/- coming in contact. If you need any help or would like suggestions feel free to drop us a line.

Be safe and Enjoy!!

 Lipo Safety Info             Excellent info here

Don't forget to check our bargain bin. Aside from our personal R/C stuff we also test fly everything we sell, we can not possibly keep all of this stuff. Believe us it piles up fast and we only have so much warehousing available. So we sale or trade in the bargain bin.
