Those look like JST balance connectors, I think the Hyperion balance connectors are larger. You can use any charger that charges 2s lipo. Get one with a built in balancer or buy a separate balance board. Maxamps make's all combination of adapters if you get the wrong connectors. Do you have a LHS? Just take the batteries there and ask them for a charger that fits. |

Probably about an hour, It usually takes me an hour to charge my 1000mah lipo packs @ 1amp. That charger you listed puts out .7amps and the batterys are 600mah, So around 50minutes to an hour |

not sure on the runtime it depends on alot of factors but I would guess 20-40 minutes depending on your trigger finger |

The batteries you are getting are more of a receiver pack, which is why it has the small red plug on it, also with the low 20C rating the battery is not designed to put out a lot of power, as long as you go slow and don't go full throttle a lot or for longer then a couple of seconds at a time they will work, just be careful, Something like this if you are trying to stay small would be a better option. http://www.hobbypartz.com/98p-20c-800-2s1p.html with a charger like this will work http://www.rcplanet.com/Venom_Lipo_B..._p/vnr0653.htm Last edited by abadk9420; 04-07-2011 at 09:20 PM. |
