Title: Lipo Charger
Post by: A_Qaiser on May 14, 2017, 07:59:09 PM
Hi guys,
Recently I bought a Turnigy 4.0 4000mah 30c 3s lipo from Flipkart.
 I have been using an EMax B3 charger (a clone probably) for earlier 2000mah batteries. My question is should I use the
Same charger for this one too or is it not recommended?

Also my charger blinks Green and red when I plug it in AC without a battery connected, I hope this is all right or is it damaged? I am 😕 confused !!!!!
Any advice is appreciated.

Regards

behind the B3 charge there is a switch .. lipo and something else i dont remember .. switch it to lipo . you should be good .
PS .. charging time will be crazy high for 4000mah .

Mine is a clone I guess.....Only for lipo? The battery won't be harmed in using it ?

you can charge your battery with b3 with out any issues.....but it will take very long time to get it full charged.


when the battery is not connected/fully charged.....the lights on the charger will glow green.....that's quite normal.

That's normal, the latest version of B3 chargers have different IC's which gives rise to the flickering of red and green lights. However, it won't affect the performance.
