| Battery Chargers |
| Its important to have a nice battery charger, wether you use LiPo, Life, Ni-MH, etc. Using a quality charger will help to extend the life of the batteries as well as give you information about the state of your batteries. |
| SkyCharger B6AC Battery Charger |
| Thunder AC6 Battery Charger |
I've been using my AC6 for quite a while now and
it works great. It comes with a wide range of
connectors to use with almost any type of
battery. It is also able to be used with AC or DC
power so it is a good all around charger and a
good price.
This charger doesn't have a built in fan so it does
get warm when charging so make sure there is
good airflow around the charger when charging
your batteries and you won't have any problems.
Also check the wires every now and then as the
wires can break off the Deans connectors.

I've had this charger for a few weeks and I can
tell you there is almost no difference between
this charger and the Thunder AC6. The only real
difference is that this one is just a tiny bit nicer
although I don't like where you have to plug in
the balancing wires (they plug directly into the
side of the charger) but its still a very nice
charger and a great price.

| Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Batteries |
| Almost all radio controlled helicopters use Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries (yes even nitro's). They are much better then the older Ni-MH batteries, they are lighter, hold charges longer and deliver power to the electronic accessories more efficiently. They are great batteries but they do require special care because if mistreated they can be VERY dangerous. Here are some basic guidelines to follow. When you buy batteries, be sure to read the manufacturers guidlines for caring for your batteries. |
- Do not over discharge your batteries. Draining a LiPo down all the way can ruin it. I always recommend that you
never drain your batteries below 3.7v per cell.
- Do not overcharge the battery.
- Do not leave batteries unattended while charging.
