So, I have 2 of the exact same LIPO's and I charged one of them. What is the best way to tell which one is full and which one isn't if I don't have access to a volt meter?

Does your charger read voltage when it's hooked up to a battery?

What type of charger do you have? If it has some sort of display on it just plug the battery in and start charging it to see the voltage. A voltmeter would still be the best way, even though you said you don't have one.

Hook it back up to the charger man.. It ain't gonna charge a fully charged battery.. Just gonna start and then say done..

If it does show voltage... 8.40v is the number your looking for.

Put your tongue to the connector and see which one gives you the biggest zap.

You should put numbered or coloured stickers on your batteries so you can keep track of which ones are full or used

When I take a battery off the charger when fully charged, it gets a rubber band wraped around it. I take the band off when I put it in the cars and dont put it back on until I take it off the charger fully charged again. I had to do this because both my son and I race and we would get confused on which batteries we had used, we have about 10 total between the 2 of us with both of us tossing them onto the workbench and rushing off to the hobbyshop to get replacement parts or upgrades. I have only seen 1 other guy at the track do this which really suprises me.

We have 3 racer's on our team.. One simple ritual.. Uncharged batts go on the left of the charger.. Charged batts go on the right. I do all the charging so as each race ends, remove your bat and place it on the left side of the charger.

After we get home I run thru all of the packs and place them in storage mode.

That's funny, I have the same process, same sides too. Left of the charger is ran packs and right is ready packs.

I also do the left to right process. Works well. If in doubt though, a quick check with a hobbyking cell meter gives me a pretty quick answer.
