I just got a GENS ACE 5000mah 4S1P 14.8V 40C hard case Lipo battery Racing Approved Batteries ROAR approval and would like to know if the Vernom charger reads the lipo when I plug it and set it up to the setting I suppose to charge it? I don't want to over charge it or mess it up. If anyone knows the settings please let me know. Thanks

Also is there such thing of a charger reading any lipo and setting it up for you that I just press to charge?
Typically chargers in balance mode will auto detect the number of cells. You just need to select the charge rate (amps). That battery should be good for 5c which is 25a. Anything under that and you should be fine. Just remember to set it back to 2 amps or however much you were charging that receiver battery at or bad stuff happens. Chargers can't detect exactly which battery you have connected, just the number of cells. So to some degree you have to select the right settings yourself when changing batteries.
