Charger

[Max]

Hi,
Does anyone have a charger for 12v Nicds I could borrow or buy at the champs? I've only got one charger and 3 batteries and each normally takes 45mins to charge so I not have enough time to charge them all between fights.
Thanks,
Max

Re: Charger

7.8.1 Balancers
Appropriate balancers must be provided if not part of the charger. They will be inspected during the
Technical Check. LiPo batteries should be properly balanced to prevent damage occurring to the cells.

you just wasted your cash as your charger will not be allowed at the champs

Re: Charger

That sucks as apparently you don't actually have to balance charge them every time and they can go with up to 10 charges without needing a balance charger.

That's why you should always read the rules. I keep a copy beside me when building bots to make sure I'm up to date on them.
