Lithium Ion Battery Charger Information
A dedicated lithium ion battery charger is absolutely required to recharge the very popular lithium ion/polymer cells available for RC models and there are now several chargers to choose from. I purchased and tested these two offerings from ST R/C Model of Taiwan - the 12 volt & 18 volt automatic chargers - and I am very impressed with them.
Why?
Because they are:
- Inexpensive
- Reliable
- Simple
- Compact & lightweight
- Top quality construction
If you're anything like me when shopping for radio control accessories, you want the best value too and I've definitely found the best value in the ST R/C Model lithium ion battery charger.
Take a look at these features:
- Will charge both lithium ion (Li-ion) and lithium polymer (Li-pol) batteries
- Choice of 2 cell, 7.4V charger with optional 12V A/C adaptor
- Or the 3 cell, 11.1V charger with optional 18V A/C adaptor
- Will handle from 500 Mah to 2200 Mah capacity cells
- Automatic polarity checking for safe operation
- Virtually goof-proof!
All you do is plug the lithium ion battery charger into the power source (A/C or D/C), the POWER red light will turn on, the green light on the CHARGER will turn on first, then the red light will turn on and turn off.
The above indicates the system is normal. Now you can insert the lithium ion/polymer battery. When the CHARGER is charging, the red light turns on. After the procedure is completed, the green light will turn on indicating a FULL charge.
It doesn't get any easier than this folks!
