Hello, I have a couple questions about the TL Micro-T Lipo battery and directions on how to charge it properly. I have a Integy 16x8v6 and I am not experienced in Lipo charging at all. I do have the wall charger for the Lipos, but why use that when I have an all around charger sitting on my shelf. I did purchase a LipoSack so I feel I am headed in the right direction. I just don't know how to set the charger up for proper charging. I know their are many threads on Lipos and charging them, but it all seems a little overwhelming. A have a couple 180mah Lipo packs and one 380 mah Lithium ion pack. Now from what I gather I should not try and charge the Lithium ion pack with this charger. Is this correct? Also the charger has settings for 150mah or 200mah. Is 200mah OK or is that getting into overcharging which I do not want to do? I may want to explore Lipo for a larger scale in the future, but as of now it is the Micro vehicles I am concerned about. The battery itself is a 2c, but on the pack it says to charge as a 1c. I don't get it! Another thing is balancers. Do I need one of these for this application?
Thank you, any and all help is very appreciated!!!!!! Just want to be safe, you know!!

. . . yep,thats right balancer is needed if the pack is made of two cells otherwise is useless,just use it once in a while. "C" rate depends of how much mAh your pack has in your case: 150mah=1C that how much you have to charge it.Hope is clear (my English is a bit rusty)
