Charger for 4s batteries, don't know which one

[ApexFPV]

If anyone has any old battery charger that they are not using, please let me know. Im new to this hobby and have seen the many videos of LIPOs catching on fire; I got a cheap charger from Banggood (bad decision) and it broke after the first charge. If no one has any chargers, I would still appreciate information for charging batteries. I have a Tattu 14.8v 1300 mAh, 19.2Wh, 45C battery.

Thanks.

Hi, I don't have a spare charger, but I can reccomend a $40 charger on amazon. I will put the link here. One problem is you would need a 12v 5a power supply, such as a deep cycle battery. If you don't have a deep cycle battery, I will find a power supply that plugs into the wall.

CHARGER: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00T...accucell+6&dpPl=1&dpID=51U2axKJTnL&ref=plSrch

POWER SUPPLY: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A...supply+XT60&dpPl=1&dpID=51MRjsHEM2L&ref=plSrc

If you are willing to make the $80 investment, this power supply already has an XT60 connector on it for the turnigy accucell 6 80W. It is also kind of rare to come across a good 10A power supply for cheap, but you will never have to upgrade this setup.

Thanks for replying! I was thinking about that charger, but was wondering if I could hack an exsisting power adapter with an XT-60 connector.

Actually yes you could. I have a 12V "10A" (it actually only puts out 3A) but I had to take it apart and put a block of balsa wood ontop of the transformer and close it again to get it to keep giving power to my charger. But any 12-17v power supply should work, as long as it can put out up to 3A, so you don't have to charge all your bigger batteries at a lower C rating. I would highly reccomend 5A or higher though.
