|  charging aftermarket lipos w/ factory charger
Hey this might have been discussed before but I am not finding anything when I search for it. I have have several aftermarket Lipos for My losi Micro and would like to charge them using My Losi Factory lipo charger. The new lipos have deans plugs and they are all 180 to 350 mah 2s 7.4. What I would like to do is change out the standard losi plug on the factory lipo wall charger to deans. Has anyone done this and is there any reason I should not do this? The lipos were part of a trade. It would be nice to use these batteries for a little while until I can get my Paypal account out of the red! Last edited by toddinbr; 09-15-2011 at 09:54 PM.

Swapping plugs is not an issue. Can your charger do balancing?? That is more important.  |

Im not sure if this would work and I would not try it. There are many inexpensive lipo chargers that will BALANCE your lipos as well. Check out hobbypartz.com. Im not sure what the factory charger has for overcharging protection and if you do try it have a volt meter handy to check often that your cells arent going over. Not to mention doesnt that charger take like 5 hours or something? Lipos should charge in just over an hour from a full drain on any decent balancing charger.
