Will this charger charge a zippy flightmax 2s?
 arthur 4 points
Yes this will charge any 2 to 3 cell lipos
 EODPete 173 points
What is the capacity of your Battery? I wouldnt use this on a 2s battery with less than 650Mah. Hope this was helpful.
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 Habner 18 points
This charger has a fixed output of 650mah. Most batteries can safely be charged at a 2c rating. Some are rated to charge at 5c. So you would charge a 350mah at 2c or a 130mah at 5c. I use it to charge 180mah 2s batteries and they do not get warm or puffy. It will charge any 2 or 3 cell lipo with the JST balance plug. Thanks

 Gary 2959 points
Yes it will be ok but a little slow,will take over 2 hours for a full charge.
Kevin  2 points - 3/21/2013
 
Is this a smart charger? Will it stop charging when the battery reaches full charge?
 EODPete 173 points
Yes, it will. You still must not leave lipos unattended while charging.
James  5 points - 2/11/2013
 
I am looking for a charger that allows me to leave my small 3s batteries on overnight. Is that what "storage current" means?
 EODPete 173 points
Storage current means that the cells will be charged/discharged to 50% about 3.85 per cell. This will extend the life of the battery when stored for long periods of time.

I was wondering if these work with jst/xh plug type batteries?
Saby  1 points - 2/2/2013
 
I have 2 questions. WOuld this charge my 2 cell 240mah lipo? Also would i be able to charge a 2 cell and a 3 cell battery at the same time (since it has 2 plugs)? The 2 cell would be the 240mah and the 3 cell would be a 2200 mah
Alex  2 points - 2/1/2013
 
Will this work for turnigy 1700 aMh 2s 20s lipo pack
 EODPete 173 points
Yes it will charge your battery.
Michael  3 points - 1/26/2013
 
How can you tell when the charge is complete with 2s lipo
 Michael 3 points
Mine didn't come with any documents
 hekitoo 2 points
You will see that a color will change in the charger.

do you just plug in the balence plug from your battary or do you need to plug in the main power line from your battary?
 kookie31 15 points
just the balance plug
Ryan  5 points - 1/23/2013
 
will this work for a 370mah 2s battery
 kookie31 15 points
yes it will and charge times wont be too long because of the low mah. this charger charges through the balance plug which is a lot slower that charging through the leads.
RICHARD  2 points - 11/27/2012
 
Can this charger be used on LIFE 11.1v batteries
 Angie 20 points
Yes it does charge upto 3s lipo, however you must make sure the plug style is correct/compatible
 mike 43 points
no this does not charge life packs it states lipos 2-3s packs
Jeffrey  22 points - 11/13/2012
 
Is this too much charger for the Nano-tech 180ah 2s lipo batteries?
 Gary 2959 points
I personally would not use it for this size of battery,it has a fixed charge rate of 650mah which is too high,this size of battery should really only be charged at 1c which is 180mah.

 Jeffrey 22 points
What charger do you recommend (that is in stock in USA)?
 Gary 2959 points
The only simple one I can find is the HobbyKing E4 Balanced Charger Part#TE4,this will be ideal but does need a power supply,or you can run it directly from a 12v car battery.
 EODPete 173 points
The other good one you usally have in stock is the IMAX AC6. A little bit more but it comes with an AC adapter and I dont think you will out grow it.
Angie  20 points - 11/10/2012
 
This charger took about 2&1/2-3 hrs to charge my 4000mah 2s lipo, not bad for the price, it is a great charger so far, just got it though, it looks exactly like the traxxas style lipo charger, more than likely the same, charge rate is up to 650mah for 3s, so not a fast charge but less stress on your batteries. I bought two, will buy more!
 Angie 20 points
UPDATE-This charger takes 4-6hrs to fully charge a Turnigy 2s 4000mah 30-40c battery, it works good for people who do not mind the wait.
 Benjamin 6 points
it's hard to beat that price.

 Angie 20 points

Angie  20 points - 11/6/2012

 Angie 20 points
I do not know the specs of your battery, but it maybe too late to answer you by now...

I have 500mah 2s' Will it work?
 Eric 4 points
It will charge 2s and 3s packs with JST-XH plug.
 EODPete 173 points
the charge rate is to high for a 500mah battery.
Steve  7 points - 7/15/2012
 
Will this charger work with the LiFePo4 transmitter packs and if not, which charger will?
 Mike 1 points
This won't charge LiFePo4 batteries. Try the turnigy accucel-6 charger.
Wilfredo Rolando  1 points - 7/12/2012
 
Does it have a JST-XH charge plug?
 Eric 4 points
Balance Plug: JST-XH 2s-3s

Does this unit need a power supply or does it just plug into the wall?
 caddokid 4 points

 nes 23 points

tallflyer  92 points - 5/9/2012
 
Can you change the amps on this charger or is it fixed?
 nes 23 points
it is a fixed 650mah charger.
 NICHOLAS R 2 points
EXCELLENT CHARGER FOR THE PRICE! HOBBY KING IS THE KING!
Rob  1 points - 5/8/2012
 
Does this accomodate the different charging requirements for 1800 mAh as well as 2200 MAh batteries?
 nes 23 points
yes it will charge any 2-3 cell pack but only at 650 mah so an 1800 might take 2.5-3 hours and a 2200 a little more
HEATEDHAT  33 points - 4/24/2012
