I just bought a thunder power 1900mah/7.4 v battery And I have a common sense balanced charger. I am new to this lipo thing. The other pack I own has a smaller second plug coming out of the pack that you hook up to the charger. This pack just has the two red and black power leads. My qustion is do I just build an adapter to go from my deans to the charger? The part that is throughing me off is the harness used to charge a 2c from the charger has three leads.



heres the battery

Here is the charger


Thanks for our help
 
yep if it only has one set of leads coming out then its a non balancing battery. So just make up an adapter and charge it through the discharge wires.
 
The balance leads are wired in series, so just making an adapter is going to be pretty tough. Although you MAY (and I have not verified this) be able to jump from the negative lead to the 7.4 lead, ignoring the 3.7 lead altogether. I don't advise it, just because lipos can do bad things when they're wired incorrectly. Like burn your house down.

You're better off with another charger. You can't beat the Triton Jr. for the money "thumbsup"
 
Thanks guys I am just going to return the battery and order one that is balanced so I can use my chrarger. I guess next time I will look at what I am buying before I buy it.:lol:
