Re: How do I charge an eSky battery?

The cheap budget chargers can take up to 3 hrs or so to complete.

If there are two LEDS (one red...one green) then if the red is on the charger is charging...when the green comes on and the red goes out the charge is complete.

IF you get a rubbish charger like I had once...there are no LEDS at all...so figure for three hours.

Yes there are two types...one charge system plugs into the main battery leads....the smaller plug with the small wires plugs into a balance charger...which is meant to be better for Li Pos.

Be careful with these batterys...any batterys in fact..charge where you can keep an eye on the thing....and try to use a fireproof surface...if things go wrong LiPos can get very nasty...so be careful.
