Ez 350 mah battery charger

[Pshive86]

Hi me and my boys just started getting into rc and we bought a few of the ft stem ez planes and we were wondering if there is a way to charge more than one at a time? I couldn't seem to find any charger than can charge more than one at a time. We have 2 of the USB chargers they came with but we would love be able to charge multiple at a time to get flying again faster.

Here's one that charges 2 at a time:

There are actually a few chargers that will charge more then one battery, when getting a better charger you can also charge in series I can charge up to 12 batteries at one time as long as they are all the same cell count.

Here is a good link to help you choose the charger you need or want.

I have a number if 1s planes and drones, including a couple EZ planes. What I use is this charger that was made for the “whoop” drone market.

VIFLY WhoopStor V3 6-Port 1S LiHV/LiPo Battery Charger and Discharger - White

The VIFLY WhoopStor V2 is the first 1S whoop battery charger with storage. The charge and discharge functions will get your battery into storage voltage.

This charger correctly charges 1s batteries and also storage charges them, which most 1s battery chargers can’t do. You can also charge fairly fast with them, up to 1.3a, although you’d probably want to limit it to .7a (2c) to make your batteries last longer.

The catch is that charger doesn’t have the style of connector used by the EZ planes which appears to be
Molex 51001. I swapped all of my 1s batteries and all of my 1s planes over to BT2.0 connectors. You have to be able to do basic soldering to do that though. You might be able to find some Molex 51005 to BT2.0 (or PH2.0, since that charger supports both) adapters. Maybe these?

But yeah, I just switched all my stuff over to BT2.0 and it’s great. No more finding adapters for anything, and BT2.0 is the best micro connector.

I would take a different approach. As @Foamforce explained above, buying all the stuff for connectors, etc is a PITA.
Why not just buy 2 to 4 batteries(each has 2 spares) so you can be flying, one is spare and ready to go, the other is in the car or house charging. That would be almost non stop flying.

So, for $24 dollars($5.99 each), and by the way pick up one or more spare sets(the 2 motors, Flight Controller, and a battery) for $19.99. You will always need a spare especially if you are crashing a lot learning how to fly. Or if you try designing you own plane. This is a good cheap way to see if you are going to continue in this activity.

Then, if you or your boys are going to continue on flying, you will need to purchase charges, electronics, etc. for 3 and 4 channel planes. You will find out that this forum can guide you as to what to do.

Eh, it’s a pain if you don’t solder. If you have four batteries and two planes, it would take about 30 minutes to solder on 6 new connectors, and then you’ve got a super nice charger that can charge all your batteries at once and in the field. You can again storage charge then. I think the deciding factor is whether or not you’re comfortable with soldering.

Just me but I never storage charge my 1S batteries, I use a timer on my transmitter and have it set to go off when ( after testing ) that leaves my battery at close to storage charge.
