Battery Charger Help

[moffettman]

Hey guys,

I just purchased by 2nd plane (Bixler) and I have a couple of questions. With my Bixler, I ordered a Turnigy 2.2 2200mAh 3C battery. I did not, however, order a charger. My Hobbyzone Champ came with a charger and that is pretty much the only experience I have with LiPO chargers or batteries. Does anyone have any LiPO charger recommendations on the cheap side that would work with my Bixler battery? I want something that will charge the battery and then shut off once it is full (like my champ charger).

Thanks for the help! I bought both of planes after watching flite test and proably wouldn't even think about getting a plane that the Josh's didn't recommend.

hey,
If you think you'll be in the hobby short term, or don't want a fast charge rate, then here is a good charger http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...ger_Direct_110_240v_Input_USA_Warehouse_.html
If you want a fast charge, or are planning for the long haul, http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...cer_Charger_w_accessories_USA_Warehouse_.html

was the first charger I ordered and even though I have the accucel 6, it is still running as it should and I still use it.

Agree with Foam, if you're not getting out of the hobby then invest in a good generic lipo/everything charger like the Turnigy Accucel-6 or another bantam knock-off as soon as you can afford it. Get a good fat power supply for it and build yourself a big octopus charge cable. It might seem like a boring and "unnecessary" investment, but at least I've been more and more happy with my charger investment as the use for it just grows.

+1 Go with the Accucel 6
It'll do anything you are going to need for a while and can be easily used at the field.
