Default Hyperion?

In order to charge the Hyperion batteries in 15 minutes do you have to use the Hyperion charger or will the Duratrax Onyx AC/DC lipo charger work? Trying to decide if the Hyperion 606i is worth the extra $50 bucks or if it is even needed.

What kind of battery are you trying to charge in 15 minutes?

I think he means the third generation series that can take up to 5c charge rates.

Hyperion Gen 3 Lipos

You just need a Lipo Charger that can charge at 5 X your MAH rating. For example if the battery is 1100 MAH than you would need a charger that can charge at 5.5 amps. Or you can use a 5 amp charge rate like I do since that is the max my charger will do.

Ok thank you that's what I needed to know, I will look up the specs on the Duratrax Onyx.

Thanks.
