How do i charge this transmitter battery?

[daz75]

Hi,

Lipos are a bit new to be so sorry for the question. I got a lrp quadro pro 3 charger off here, and i've been happily charging my 2s bullet connected lipos with it using the included wire.

I've now got a 3s lipo transmitter battery, this one

But there is no way to connect it to the charger, i can see loads of "extension" cables on hobbyking and ebay, but i'm really not sure which one i should be getting as some just seem have the wrong connectors on, i assume i should be using the white 4 holed connector on the lipo??

Is this the right thing? Or is this just the balance cable, do i actually need a red and black banana plug as well?

That is just a balance lead.

Doh...


Ok, what I did with mine buy a servo extension lead, cut off one end and splice that into my charger - my charger connects via 4mm bullets so it was easy to do. Buy the balance lead too!

sounds like a nightmare to me anything that involves cables or solder or any of that stuff usually means something blows up, ready made stuff would be ideal

I assume there must be something available, as most transmitter lipo's come like this.
If anyone sells it, hobbyking will. It's just a matter of finding it!

I've not used the LRP charger before but from a Google search it looks like you just plug in the usual red/black banana leads into the side.

I used to have the exact same 3s battery in my CoreRC transmitter and I luckily got the correct charging cable with my charger.

This cable set will fit your charger and also comes with the exact extension you need: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Core-RC-UD...4AAOSwGYVW9je6

you'll also need a 3s JST lead too.

Or if you want to cut straight to the chase, buy this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8064-RC-4m...UAAOSwQYZWxHfD
