I used this $5 balance charger with my micro before I sold it. You could use any 12v wall plug (like for a modem or router) to power it. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...e_Charger.html |

That's similar to what I was suggesting. You can easily wire in a fused cigarette lighter/aux plug for the car and use a 12v DV wall wart for the wall. For the $ however the one I linked earlier has it all done for just $10 more

I looked all over the webz again and ended up buying this one to try. I don't need the 12v option, yet, but it may prove handy one day. MotionRC had the best deal of a web store, but fleaBay beat them by $2 when shipping was added. I found many USB to 1s chargers out there. I may try one that can handle multiple 1s batteries and configure it to do individual cells of a 2s. | |

I was thinking the same thing about the 1s USB chargers, but IMO I don't see the ability to use USB to be that much of a convenience because even when I travel there is usually a wall outlet or a car with a 12v DC source. If I was somewhere especially remote and away from a car micro lipos are cheap enough to bring extra batteries. I could also always power the balance charger with a larger lipo pack if I brought a micro camping in the woods or something.

Just thought I'd share this charger i came across. Its cheap at $4.55. made for micro lipos so it charges at the correct amperage. It balance charges 2s & 3s http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...e_Charger.html As far as lipos, as already suggested by many HobbyKing micro lipos are good.I have many,but they are usually out of stock. I suggested these from valuehobby earlier and still really like them. They are cheaper than HobbyKing at $2.70 so it's worth getting a few. They are also about factory Losi size http://www.valuehobby.com/power-syst...350mah-2s.html Last edited by spoo76; 03-04-2016 at 04:07 PM. |

Hmm that it is, I could have sworn it charged more cells when I read it before. I'll delete the link, however this charges 2S & 3S and and is also cheaper. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...e_Charger.html |

I've been there myself. Luckily it was also something cheap. I have a friend who got drunk enough to spend a few hundred then be surprised when a package showed up at her house lol.

Good hard shell 1s 450mah battery for the stock location in the trekker. Only 25c but could last forever for your kids to play with or something.

Any reason why I'd choose the e-Flite style batteries, rather than the ones with JST discharge and separate balance output (JST-XH)? https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-...lipo-pack.html | |

I've got a couple if eFlite batteries and the lone plug is proprietary for charging and discharging. I bought some balance leads and plan on changing them to conventional balance plugs and make a jumper to JST for a trial period. If it pans out I'll convert one micro to run these. I picked them up cheap at my LHS.
