[intrance]

guys...

as above.

thanks in advance

If I'm not wrong

guys...

as above.

you shld know the mAh for your charger....for 1050mAh cell...yr charger should not exceed 75% of the max abt 780mAh....min 500mAh will take you about 2hrs to charge...not to overcharge and not to drain more than 5% of yr voltage...

correct me if I'm wrong guys

this wall charger indicate output: DC 8.4V 1.0A

so will it be 1 hr to charge 1050 mah batt?

Did u buy together with the batt? It seems quite high to me....Is yr batt 2S or 3S? If so, then shld be no prob....ritefully....it shld take abt 1hr based on yr charger....but on the safety side....before charge...use a multimeter (1 simple digital one can be bought at SLT for 13 bucks) to measure the Voltage first....if at the optimum Voltage...then take about 30mins to charge and measure the V again....yr V shld not exceed 8.4 for a 2S.

bro...

thanks for ur info...

frankly i have no idea.. it sooo hard just to charge a batt..
hmmm think will charge less than 1 hr...

will get a peak charger soon hopefully...

thanks once again

R u sure your wall charger is certified to charge lipos? Post a pic of it to make sure.

I got myself 1....but only for 2S...its a switching adaptor bought from Jet Hobby...for Lithium Poly and LiPo

yup...u got to make sure its for LiPo and not for NiMh or NiCad

yes.. this one is only charge lipo... come together with the batt..
i have other charger for nicad and nimh...

thanks guys for ur consent...

yah...I concur...when I just started out...I even went to SLT to customise my own batt...then ppl say Lipo lighter and better and it proves correct as my beaver just cant fly...so changed...then next dilemma came whether to get a 2S or 3S....3S no adaptor to charge...need to buy another 12V batt to charge...so lehchek...so in the end..stick to 2S

haha.. me still cannot grasp about lipo thingy.. yes i know.. it lighter and can last much longer than other batt.. but come this about discharge.. how many continuous and surge thingy.. im totally gone.. and when u mention about measuring and checking the voltage.. i just go...'oh my God'.. haha

and last sunday, i joined flyers at JW.. when they talked to each other about motor.. wat gear box.. ratio.. esc.. ics.. bla bla bla...
my jaw dropped.. feel want to faint... .. so much thing to learn

and now i just take each step slowly... im just a slow leaner.. haiiizzz

the naive me thot just buy a kit with motor...then reinforce the kit with filament tape ...get a strong batt to fly longer....my beaver just wont fly...then got to know that 150 is not enough....then change 350...can lift but cant fly...then got to know its the batt...so change to 2S...can lift..fly abit then crash...then got to know its the gear Im using....so finally changed to C gear and viola....after how much of crash courses and burning the pockets...

then got to know that its not the ESC that supply current to motor but only regulates...the motor draws direct from the batt via the ESC...so thats why u must know wat Amp yr motor drawing in order not to burn yr ESC,....

TAO TIA....dunno wats coming up for me....

haha.. sometimes we need to learn the hard way..

when i buy my cub at rotor.. i ask the saleman to include all the stuff that needed to fly the plane.. and just pay him..
.. at least the plane flies..


hmm.. anyway.. i learn a new thing from ur post above..

the ESC? GOod...thats wat the forum is for....any new findings share hor...else I 'll be one bird tryin hard to fly and understand....hahah
