you can get the losi micro lippo charger for 19.99 form horizen. it has the right plug already on it and is desinged for the 180 mah lippo.

If you really want to save some money look at the turnigy lipos on hobbyking all you need to do is get the measurments for a batt the fits and compare to the turnigys till you find one the same size I got a couple buddies that did that and even with the upgraded shipping for them they where still cheaper than the brand name batts

I understand that but if the losi dosent stop charging after the batt has reached peak voltage then you can over charge your lipo which is very bad and would cause you to have to replace the batt

Ok the 19.99 losi charger is a peak 7.4 volt charger but it dosent balance also I believe if you decide to buy a higher voltage batt later on it may not work with it I honestly believe chargers like that one are junk I belive spending a little more now can save you money down the line but the 19.99 losi charger will work

Lipo chargers are really expensive vs nicd/nimh chargers.

Micro DT lipo are usually 180mAh only and not 1800mAh. It would last about 10-15 mins run time. The 150mAh nimh batteries will only have about 5-7mins run time.

The losi lipo battery that I have does not have a balance plugs... so I could not balance charge the batteries.

Turnigy Accucell 6 is one of the cheapest in the market... but does require a PSU. Only my Accucell 6, I use a power supply unit from an old tosiba laptop that I have. It is producing 18v at 6Amp... so if you have a similar laptop PSU, then you can get the Accucell 6.

I use a Dynamite vision peak ultra ($45 used) with the Micro battery adapter set at .2A on lipo mode for that same battery. Takes about 20 minutes to charge. 180 MaH seems so small but really will provide 6-10 minutes of run time.

The dynamite isn't very popular because it only goes up to 2.5a on lipo but it doesn't require a separate power supply.

OK, say I get the thunder ac6...i am looking at the pics and it does not look like it has a connecter that directly connects to the micro losi battery, would I have to modify the battery connector>

I am about to upgrade my stock battery to a lipo but have a question. I will eventually upgrade to the brushless sytem so I want to get the Losi 11.1V 200mAh 3-cell LiPo but it says that it is for use with the brushless upgrade. My question is will this battery still work with the stock motor until i get the brushless in a month or so? Thanks.

it will not work... you will burn the motor with the high voltage. The stock esc might also get burned...

thanks. is there a huge difference between the 7.4 - 300mah and the 11.1 -200mah when it comes to the brushless setup?
