Find us on:

In the continuing “LiPo Battery Basics” series, we discussed how to charge LiPo batteries in the September issue. Here are some comments we’ve received.

James Wilson: I now understand why a balancing cable exists. Thanks! I’m surprised we can’t engineer the charging through one cable, though.

Bryan: My brain is melted. Good info! Why can’t we standardize our charging?

CorsairoverMN: The LiPo sacks are cheap. Why take the risk and charge without one?

KennedyScott: Lots of good info. Love the video series. I now wish I had bought a different charger.

jartexas: I rarely discharge my batteries for storage. Oops. I don’t fly in the winter so I probably should start that practice.
