I have a dynamite lipo igniter and when I try to charge it my charger says over voltage. It's a Hyperion charger. Any advice?

What are your settings on the charger ?

Are you sure it's a "LiPo" igniter and not a NiMh one?

Mine did the same thing. I just stuck with the wall charger.

The charger that came with the set does not have any power rating. I'm not sure if it's my hse power or if it's a defective unit but the charger poofed when I plugged it in to charge after abt 10secs.

I was thinking the charge circuit was built into the igniter and the wall wart only supplied power. If that is the case then you would be trying to charge a charger that was trying to charge the battery.......don't think you can make that work.

I've used both a cheapo HobbyKing and a Racers Edge charger with the Dynamite LiPO ignitor without issue. I'm using a universal radio chargig adapter. Perhaps the polarity of the plug tip you are using is reversed?

true but the instrutions say you can charge it at 1 amp through a normal lipo charger which mine wont do either it starts charging then after aroumd 30 to 50 mili amps says its full and its not

Have the right adapter end so I will have to give it a try and see what happens. It would be nice to know the mah it takes to charge it back. Thanks guys.

Yep. No issues here. I have 2 of them and they both work fine when I use the wall chargers that came with them.

You would need to measure the voltage on the glo plug end when it had the amp draw load of a glo plug placed on it to get a true reading.

uh-oh, i just bought the ignitor without the wall charger hope it can be charged using a lipo charger using the glow adapter.

Will update as soon as it arrives.

thanks Frank .how long do they stay charged ? can you get a full days racing out of them ?.

does anyone know if a 240volt charger is available for these units ?Australian compliance.

if not, anyone want to by one,brand new,no charger.
