Prophet sport lipo charger

[rookieflyer421]

My Supercub came ready to fly but I'm wondering what setting do I use to charge the battery the plane came with. Can someone point me in the right direction. I am new to the rc world.

Lipos are charged using a 'C-rating', C=capacity. The stock battery is 1300mA=1.3A
Charge at 1.3A. A 2200mA would be charged at 2.2A. Lower is OK but slower. Faster may be OK depending on the battery specs and charger. Just use 1C for now.
Plug the small white plug (balance port) into the appropriate port, adjust, go.

Video's and articles will help you learn and understand the use and care of Lipo batteries

they are NOT like other batteries. They can last for years or they can last for seconds

They can be friendly or they can be very dangerous and will burn your house down...that all depends on how YOU care and store them

One main Rule, NEVER Leave your battery Unattended while charging.
And that can mean Life or death.

Lipo batteries are not to be feared, BUT, they do need to be respected .

Hope that helps...and Thank FlyDiver, he provided most of those articles I gave you.....when like you, I needed them .
