Jumper on the esc

[swampfox201]

Hey everyone,

Thinking about getting a new battery for more power. Haven't decided if I want to invest tons of money for new charger and go lipo. Couple of questions.

If I do get a lipo battery and charger and I want to also use my old stock batteries also has anyone devised an easy way to get the jumper in and out at the field without having to disassemble the airplane?

If I get regular batteries what is the maximum number of cells that the chargers that came with the plane will work with?

Thanks,
Todd

Here is a post describing how to connect a switch to the jumper.
Its just a few lines at the end of his post.

Todd,

I am fairly confident the stock chargers can only charge the 7 cell packs. If you wish to upgrade to an 8 you will need to upgrade the charger as well.

Here's a link to some HZ upgrade chargers.

Inside other posts here in the battery section there are a few examples of other's chargers.

The Stock HBZ7130 wall charger will charge the 8.4v 7c and 9.6v 8c. The bad part is that it will take almost 2 hours for the 8 cell. The 10.8v 9c will not charge with the stock wall charger, I use the PKZ1519 to charge all of them at the field.
