LiPo Charger

[MetalVape90]

What LiPo charger would any of you recommend cause I want to play it safe when dealing with a battery that’s high powered and requires balanced charging for the individual cells.

For context I picked up a Steam Crave Hadron Pro DNA250C 400W for £45 at the Expo which uses a FullyMax 4s 1600mAh 30c LiPo pack. I’ll have a look round some of the RC shops in my area to see what’s around.

I’ve looked on Google, just wondering which brand of charger is best

Been using one of these for the last 4 years, you will also need a power supply, be aware that some (non vape) vendors will fob you off with a 12v 2/3 amp supply, you would need at least 12v 6amp, If i remember correctly it's a headroom thing. When i was sourcing a charger it was a deep rabbit hole, completely done my head in tbh.

The turnigy or imax b6 are good but be aware of clone b6's going around. well thy were when I was using one a few yrs ago and like andipandi said get a good power supply

The DNA250C board is more than capable of onboard charging, inbuilt balance charging. If in doubt drop the battery out of the mod and pop it in a lipo bag. I charge all my lipos on board with no issues.

I have 4 LiPo DNA's going back to the DNA200 up to a 4S LiPo in a DNA250C and have always used the onboard balance charger. That 2A charger safely charges each cell at .5A
