Title: Do I start with a LIPO battery or a niMH battery?
Post by: iamahuman on May 11, 2010, 10:08:37 PM
Guys,
I will be buying a thunder tiger sparrowhawk XXT and was thinking on buying a LIPO battery for it.I have no idea which one to buy.So,please tell me which one is fit for this truggy and also which charger to buy.
Reading the safety tips, i gather that I should not
1.Over discharge it
2.give it a fall
3.use the proper charger.
And also,if you do suggest a battery please suggest a charger and for how long I should charge it.
Can I check the voltages with a normal multimeter?
Or do I start with NiMH batteries?

start with a lipo(2s-3s), get a balanced charger. if u over discharge it, it will puff up and sometimes can catch fire. get a lipo checker with a beeper and never go beyond 3.7v per cell (2s= 2 cell, 3s=3cell) it stays up to a fall pretty well and the chargers are automatic. check out this video and it should help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6hGvXxFTFA

You found an old thread from my noob days. Now that I look at it, I'm embarrassed. (The post is a mess)
