So how would you handle, charging, cell ballancing and LVC?

I like the soundof a couple of these wired in parallell.

FlightPower Evolution20 3700mAh 4s1p 14.8V. 20C constant discharge(74A) 30C Bursts(111A). Fully compatible with FlightPower Balancers. Perfect for IC conversions and high current applications. Dimensions - 30mm x 44mm x 150mm Weight - 376g

The packs have a seperate balance connector already so you just use one balancer for each pack.I'm going to charge 2 packs in series each with a balancer.I'm going to use a single Li-saver for LVC.Other good thing compared to the FMAs is it's easy and convenient for Lipo newbies like me to balance charge both my packs on one charger above 6s.I'd need a pair of FMA chargers for my 8s and they can't do other things/types of cells.

Anybody have opinions on schulze chargers BTW,i was considering the 330d.Linky to 330d

Oh i thought it was 16 cells Nimh but it's only 6.I might look at the Graupner then,or the bigger schulze chargers.

great charger. I use that too, only from graupner.. (duo pro 30 it's called)

A good balancer available is from ThunderPower (TP-210), here is it

i saw 2 of them schulze chargers on ebay. Just type up SCHULZE! ideal for bl people

my computer just went up in smoke. thanks ncabz..

LOL! their escs aint that great, but what about thier cahrgers?

i thought the 330d could do 30 nimh and 11s lipo?

Oh yeah,you're quite right,so it can.

What does it mean by battery output then?

Edit:Ah,i see it says battery output2 1-6 cells.oops.

if mike cant get it i have found it for 169 usd. quite cheap if you ask me. also, can you use a balancer with this charger?

As long as it is CC/CV, you can. I might have read somewhere that this charger will charge to a pretty high voltage, so a balancer would pretty much be required to keep the cells from going too high.

u need powersupply?

yes or a car battery

i just got one of those in the mail today..............with the rest of my LST parts :devil

Powersupply can be made from an ATX powersupply from a computer. those things normally make an easy 15-20A on 12V

I use PS power supplies for my stuff. I have gone through 2 of them that can't hold their voltage very well, but another that is rated at 20amps on the +12v line will hold MUCH better. Or, just buy this:
