Hi!
I have a problem between the charger and 30C 3s lipo 2450 mah. The charger lights, but the LED will flash red, which means there is a problem. However, the charger works very well with a zippy 3s lipo 2500 mah 3C. Do you think my batteries have a problem?
thank you
Hello, first thought yes problem in battery ..
but rather than connections of balancing wires or battery it self..
if u have DMM(Voltimeter) you can measure each cell to confirm the voltages that is great.
Best Regards
For now I have no volt meter, so I can not make the test. It would appear in fact that I too discharged lipo on my last flight. I put my engine running almost a minute after switching off the controller. Misuse on my part.
Thank you for your reply
Hello, u r welcome..
as my experience if u have a multi battery charge charger u may can fix this battery which appears low voltage warning ...
the method is that u charge it as it nimh not lipo for about 10 seconds not more for first time ..
then go back and charge it as lipo and may will fix this low voltage,,, if not repeat the method for not more than 4 times ..
thanks pls award :)
Best Regards
im looking for a reliable battery and charger to run in my evader dt/ ext2. im looking at the turnigy 4000mih lipo pack and this charger would that be a good combo??
Your battery is big and this charger will take a long time charging it (3-4 hours).I suggest investing in a good computerized charger. Have a look at Turnigy Accucel 6 , needs a power supply which you can make from computer SMPS(PSU) with minor modifications
Which charger you use Matt ? You must have received them half charged , so they should take less time !.I charge them with 2amp and they take 30-40Min for full charge.
Sorry i thought this was a battery page . And yes 1:45 Mins is normal for this charger for a 2200 pack. The output is low so 1 hour plus time is expected.
I've used this charger to charge my battery three times now. It's a 3000 mah 3s 20c battery. First two times worked great. Third time it has been charging for eight hours and the red lights are still on solid. Battery isn't warm. I don't have a volt checker. It didn't stop at five hours like it its supposed to. Should I worry?
Jon this charger have time limit of 5 hours. Maybe you drained your battery much and now it needs more than 5 hours to fully charge.
If it doesn't charge in 5 hours then you have to charge it twice. I recommend using Turnigy Accucel 6 or 8 for big batteries and parallel charging
Mikey, I purchased 2 of them and have the same problem with 1. It may be your battery but my other does not blink. The other looks to be working but does nothing. I had batteries on it for 4 hrs and no charge. Don't recommend them at all.
240V, 220V, or both ?
Cause I live in Europe, and outlets are 220V with this shape : *******IMG width='480px'.alibaba****/photo/460538936/European_I P44_electric_plug_with_220v_power_cable_H07RN_F_3G2_ 5.jpg
If a 220V is available in this package, a simple US->EU adapter could do the job.
I live in the Netherlands and use this charger. Very happy with it. But what i did was swap the cable supplied with it for a european one, it is a standard C7 (figure 8) power plug. because a us to eu adapter is just another failure point.
Mohsin, you dont need anything else. not any power supply even. Just plug in the charger to the terminal point in your house. No need of any external power supply.
Can some recommend a balance board that will work with this charger? I have some Losi lipos and they have a different balance plug than this charger accepts.
Thankyou man for your help i bought another one wnd that one burnt so that's why i was asking and looking for a new one. Thank's again to make it easy.
would the Turnigy 2S 3S Balance Charger. Direct 110/240v Input
charge a E-Flite 1800mAh 3S 11.1V 20C LiPo Battery for a Double Horse 9053 26 Inches 3.5 Channel im thinking about buying the Turnigy FBL100 3D Micro Helicopter any though's
Yes it will charge the E-Flite 1800mAh 3S 11.1V 20C battery. it uses the balancing plug (white with 4 wires).
FOR SAFETY ALWAYS USE A LIPO CHARGING BAG WHILE CHARGING
Yes it will charge this just like the other reply: it uses the balancing plug (white with 4 wires). FOR SAFETY ALWAYS USE A LIPO CHARGING BAG WHILE CHARGING
I use this charger for a 1800mAh 2s,2650mAh 2s,and a 3300mAh 3s.Works great even though the larger packs take some time.have at least 15 charges on each pack and have had no "puff" issues or problems.i even had a pack discharged too far and tricked the charger into charging it.Time how long a pack takes to charge,discharge and recharge for half the time and store it till you wanna run then charge the other half.
platinum member habner claims to use this charger for 180mAh 2s lipos without any problems.also you can contact hobbyking and instant message to ask them just to be safe.please give best answer credit
This chargers output is 850mah per cell. if you charge a 180mah 2s (90mah per cell) battery with this you are charging it at almost 9.5s which no battery could handle for very long.
There is a safety timeout where this charger stops after 5 hours. This means you have a pack greater than 3500MAH you have to charge your pack twice to be sure it is fully charged. You will know your pack is done when you put it on the charger and the lights immediately turn green. If you see your pack on the charger with all 3 lights red and it has been there over 5 hours unplug the pack from the charger and plug it back in.
Yeah the lights blink red but the thing is that i just got this battery this week and wanted to connect it to the charger to make sure it was fully charged, and it did not charge well i guess i got a defective battery Thanks
Okay i just bought one and I have a 2 cell battery i want to charge but every time i connect the battery to the charge the all three lights blink and do no go of or change to 2 red and one green. Am i doing something wrong?
do you have a volt meter? I had this happen to one of my lipo packs that went too low of a charge. The charger needs to see a minimum voltage in the battery before it starts charging it. What I did to be able to charge this battery is to put my lipo on a 600mah wall charger for nimh for about 1/2 hour, charging with the battery plug and not the balance plug. This brought the cell voltage up high enough so the lipo charger could charge it properly. the battery survived.
HI GREGG- IM IN UK -WERE CAN I GET THE WALL CHARGER USAID AS I HAVE A FEW NEW LIPOS THAT ONLY BLINK RED AND WOULD LIKE TO TRY WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO SEE IF I CAN LICK START THEM AGAIN**IS IT RISKY THANX WEZZER
it is risky, so you would put it on a non-balancing charger only for a few minutes. The wall charger I mean is the typical slow charger that comes with RTR car RC's. Typically around 120mah. Test the voltage of the pack now. It should be around 6.6 volts. If it is lower put it on that slow charger and monitor the charge until tha pack is around 7 volt. Do not charge higher than that. Then put the pack on this lipo charger. A full charge on a lipo is about 8.4 volt.
if you have a 3 cell lipo or know someone who does i know a neat little trick to make it charge a low voltage battery.this will also work if you have a 3 cell thats too discharged and you have a 2 cell around.first plug in your over discharged lipo.next take the second pack and just touch it to the other charge port.be ready to unplug it again as soon as it clicks over to charge.this tricks the charger into thinking your low pack has more voltage and will start its charge cycle.I had discovered this trick when my son left his lipo plugged in after use.please award best answer credit if this helps.
I have noticed when I charge really large capacity packs this charger does not finish charging them. I think there is a charge time limit on the charger, but I do not see this in its documentation. When I charge a small capacity lipo and leave it on the charger too long the lights will change from all green (charged) to all red. I have 4 chargers and they all do this. Can someone confirm if they see this behaviour too? Or can confirm this timeout?
I just tested this. It does have a timeout. After approximately 5 hours the charger stops charging and turns all lights red. It did this on 3 of my chargers. With this charger you have to charge your high lipo packs twice.

Good charger, best for the buck as they say.
It is small, goes directly into the 220V socket so no adapter is required.
If you will only charge 2S or 3S LiPo batteries then the Turnigy 2S 3S Balance Charger is the cheap option you want to get! Have bought 2 and very happy with them!

I charged my turnigy 2200mA 3S, and at the end one cell was 4,27V the cell at the center was 4,18V or 4,19V and the other 4,19V.

Great charger for LiPos over 650mA. Bought one two weeks ago and will buy more.
Unlike many other charger/balancers, this charges each cell independently (it has one red/green LED per cell so you can see this in action). My [name brand with external balancer] charges all cells together while simultaneously discharging the high cells. Also, this one seems not to discharge cells if they are left plugged after a cycle. I will order more.

It worked fine for the first week or 2 after that it only charges 2 cell packs. If I connect a used (11.45v) 3s pack, all 3 leds turn green as in fully charged. Now I use it to charge my 2s packs for my gas planes for radio and ignition but I can't use it to charge 3s packs for my foamies. Bummer.
