Lipo????'s Please help!
 

I got out of r/c's about 3 yrs ago. I kept my charger which is a mrc super brain 989, It can charge 1-8cell lipos.

I just got a rustler vxl, and a truggy. I have a Venom 20c 7.4volt 5000mah lipo.

Now on my charger i would set it to 2 cells, 5000mah, and 5.0 amps? correct?

I also bought the rb 126 balancer which is the mrc accutec balancer, when charging the led that blinks is the cell that is being balanced?:confused:

yes thats correct..unless the battery has a 2c charge rate..if it is, you can charge at 10 amps.

imprtcrx,
Charge the 2S 5000mah at 5.0amps. I recommend 1C charge rate (1C in this case is 5.0amps) for all lipos for greatest life.

remember, C, being capacity/1000. So 5000mah/1000 = 5Ah, which helps you determine your charge rate.

So, 1C is 1x5.
