losi 2c 180mah lipo question

[Positronic]

Hi everyone, I'm a lipo virgin I was interested in using this lipo in my micro rock crawler, I have a venom pro lipo charger though I still use nimh in my other rc's.

My question is, this lipo seems to have no balancer, it's ok to use with no balancer on my charger?

And also if i understand correctly if I charge a lipo at 1c it would set it to 0.4 or 0.3 charge rate?

I charge mine with a losi wall charger. it's been fine so far. I don't have the connecter to charger it on my main charger, so I just used the wall one that i bought with it.

If it's a 180 mah pack, a 1C charge rate would be 0.18 amps.

Is the battery really a 180 mah pack? That's it?

+1.

I just do .1 (as opposed to .2) on my charger for my li'l 180mah McRC lipo. Don't know if .2 would be detrimental in the long run...

There are inexpensive 180's out there with balance plugs.

Yeah Id use the wall charger but i'm in Australia, can only seem to find 110v american ones, was thinking about the losi battery as LVC is suppose to be in battery.

guess I'll try some 3rd party ones, thanks guys
