GUIDE: How to Charge a LiPo Battery

Today I show you how to properly charge and discharge a LiPo on three different chargers.

Please read our guide below on LiPo safety, care and use. LiPo batteries require very specific charging, a LiPo alarm and safe storage practices.

Hugely assistive video. New to LiPo and had been overwhelmed by it. You made it much easier to sort out! Thanks!!

[cascas]

Man ive always wanted to learn this stuff

[congokael]

I just did my first plug change on a lipo today (XT30 to XT60) - and of course used your video as reference! Thanks for this new installment!

gardening sounds fun. I'm glad that you're able to get outside right now.

thanks luke, just made the jump to lipos and it was rather intimidating at first knowing these things can explode... this was really helpful and i feel much more comfortable using them now :)

A really great field charger/discharger is the ToolkitRC M8S. ~$50, with a display, can balance charge up to an 8s battery, (Li-Po, Li-Fe, Li-Ion, Ni-Mh, or Lead Acid)

I was actually looking for a guide like this, and my man uploaded it just at the right time!

Just as I was going to return my chinesium charger and get a good one from hobbyking, your e3 charger is back in stock and this vid pops up. Thanks so much.

Just one less thing for me to explode I guess

Having run an RC car club for about a decade I've seen more lipo problems charging with 'lipo safety bags' than without. Cells will expand well before catching fire and if you can see that you can stop charging before it goes up. Bags are safer if it does go wrong, but mean that failure is more likely. That said its worth mentioning that in all those years I've only seen 4 proper lipo fires - 2 human error (wrong cell type selected) and 2 from accidental punctures.

Thanks! The video was good and the explanation was good. Right before this video I almost blew up my old charger!

[Bad-dlks]

When your so early that the video hasn’t even completely finished loading.

[ryansadventures]

I appreciate you making this video because I plan on buying a Jupiter and since I need a 3s Lipo for it to work I don’t want to be stupid and burn my house down.

[PlayingAmongtheStars]

Just bought a LiPo and charger from y'all! This is awesome thanks!

[chesterrory]

Awesome, informative video! Thank you!

[ChazMations]

I wish they had a kit of the bag, charger, tester and more

[luketanton]

Does the advice for the first two apply to the Imax B3 and B6 chargers which are similar?

[shiramyers]

For that first charger, can you charge any liPo on that? I’ve got a similar charger and a 3S 2200 mAh 50c liPo battery and wondering if it’s safe to charge?
