Esky Battery Charger Question

[ed4becky]

My new Esky CP2 RTF juts arrived, and I am confused, not by the heli but by the charger?

The kit include the EK1-0180 11.1v 1000mAh LiPo and the EC103A charger, so I thought I was set. When I opened it up, The only cabel for the charger has alligator clips, not a plug.

What am I supposed to clip it too? The instructions are not clear at all. Was I supposed to order something else?

Help!

Put it on your car battery lipos or nicads don't care where there charge comes from. You need a 12 volt source of power a computer power supply is 12 volts and plugs into the wall thats another option or a car battery charger will also work. I like to charge off my car with a peak charger I get the best charge that way.

A peak charger will bring your batterys to there highest charge rate. There are also chargers that will balance your cells before the charge begins for lipos. If you stay in this hobby long enough a realy good charger will pay for itself. For now use the one that esky sent you there products seem to be real good quality.
