Charging lipo without banana output plugs using balancing plug?

gauravrockstar8 · May 30, 2018, 04:50:26 AM

I have got a Turnigy Accucell and a ZOP Power TX battery with JST and Futaba leads. Can I charge the LiPo with only connecting the balancing plugs? Are the banana plugs necessary?

I'm not very sure, but I think the Accucell charger uses balancing connectors for balancing only, and you can't charge with them

If you want to charge with balancing wires only, some other cheap chargers may be able to do that.

The balancing wires cannot be used for high current, and therefore charging rate may be limited to up to an amp or so.

I do not have any problem with low current because I will be charging them at night and so I have plenty of time. All I need to know is will it charge with the balance plugs only?

This charger can charge via balance plug.

Why? What's wrong with it? I think all RTF models come with similar chargers...

I had the Imax B3. Though worked correctly for me, but heard a lot of negative reviews and I do not want to damage my brand new lipo.

I suggest you buy a genuine charger.
Yhe cheapest genuine one i got is from skyrc ...costed 900 rs
Solid charger ..properly balances to 4.20 or 4.19 volts
Not more than that.
