A long term investment you’ll be making in the RC hobby is a good charger. Chargers come in all flavors – simple, cheap, expensive, robust – it’s a matter of finding the best lipo charger for your needs and situation. How to charge lipos Lipo batteries are not run-of-the-mill batteries. Their chemistry is quite unique, […]

Please note I only put the charger on my carpet for photography purposes. I normally charge on a fireproof surface, as should you! I couldn’t get the lighting correct for the photos otherwise. So inside the box, you get the charger itself and a set of instructions. The charger is incredibly tiny! Compared to other […]

Lipo batteries are energy dense, high discharge, and comparatively lightweight batteries, which make them excellent for high intensity applications that drones require. However, because they’re so energy dense, when mistreated or mishandled, they can release all of that energy in quite a horrific and spectacular manner. You may have seen videos online of lipo battery […]

Charging lipo batteries has always been a dicey venture, because lipos can occasionally become quite, erm, temperamental. Don’t get me wrong – on the whole, charging lipos is pretty safe, as long as you know what you are doing – hundreds of thousands of people, if not more, use and charge lipo batteries quite regularly […]

Note: Lipo battery storage can refer to two things: what charge to store lipo batteries on, and how to physically store lipos. This post will talk about both of those topics, since they are related. Lipo batteries are temperamental little things(or huge things, if you’ve got 10,000 mah 6S packs). They’re tricky to charge, tricky […]

One of the most critical things you need to know when you get into FPV and drone racing is lipo battery safety. Lipos are most vulnerable in two states: when they are being charged, and when they are being discharged. That’s why you must take care during both those times. A quick primer on how […]

Today we are going to talk about a very interesting topic: Recommendations for charging your LiPo battery for the first time.
