You do know the Onyx 220 does not charge lipo.


What do you want/need to charge battery wise?

I went ahead and purchased the venom. (Hopefully this was the right choice)

I am very new at RC, I am looking for a good article on how charge nihm \ lipo batteries. any suggestions? Time \ charge rate \ cut off rate?

The best thing I'd advise for nimh is to dnload teh charger manual for the DTX Ice, it'll cover charging enough to get you started.

The venom charger is ok. My opinion - you spent too much for what you got, but as long as it works, it will take care of light duty charging chores.
