Buying used Lipo's & charger?

[stinkfist]

Is it ok to buy some good used Lipo's & chargers or would you recommend to buy new? There are some on eBay that look like a good deal but are used.

Thats the same charger I have. You will have to make a series adapter to charge two at once, which makes it difficult to balance as there is only one balance tab on the charger. The seller has excellent feedback. IMHO it looks like a decent deal.

you can charge 2 2s2p 8000mah whit that charger ?

and if i use 2 differante balance plug, will it work ?

Yes, you can charge up to 6s at once, or two 3s 11.1v in series with a series adapter with that charger. No matter what balance plug is on the battery, you will (should) be able to find the matching tab that goes to the charger. You will have to get creative to be able to balance both at the same time on that charger, I'm not sure how to do that though.

Hyperion makes a lot of chargers stinkfist. Which one are you talking about?

[ajb1205]

If you are talking about the eos0606i, it will charge up to a 6 cell lipo up to 6 amps.

[brushlessman]

your welcome. also i reccomend the fma cell pro 10s http://www.fmadirect.com/new_applica...0s_charger.htm

Actually the 0606i can only charge at 3.6amps for 6s lipos... something like a 66watt max. Charging the two 8k packs in series as a 4s is the way to go but expect a 2+hr charge time. Get the 0610i or best yet the 0610i duo Those are far better when charging large lipo's or 4s+ packs.

[ajb1205]

Now that you mention that...yah...I connect my 2s 6000 together to charge them as one 4s and it only charges at about 3.2 amps or so. I originally bought the 0606i to charge my 3s 5000 that I had for my Rustler VXL. I would definitely go with the 0610 duo if I ever get a new charger.
