The best value in chargers in this list is the Great Planes Triton. It has almost the same fea-

tures as the high-end Orbit Microlader at about 1/3rd of the price.

Before buying a charger, make sure it can charge the number of cells in your pack! Some

chargers can only handle up to 10 or 12 cells, which is insufficient for a Logo 16/20 or ECO 16.

This may be important if you're planning on buying a larger helicopter eventually.

Lipo batteries can ignite if overcharged, or become bloated and damaged if overdischarged.

Therefore, it is highly recommended to equalize or "balance" the charge in the cells in the pack

either before charging or during charging.

Standalone lipo balancers work in different ways. Some willd discharge all cells to a preset

voltage, such as 2.75 volts. Some will equalize the cells in the pack by slightly discharging the

cells with extra charge. Some balancers work by working with a non-balancing charger to

provide a balanced charge. Some balancers support two or more of the above methods of bal-

ancing.

Some lipo balancers currently available are:

• Orbit LiPoChecker (1s to 5s packs)

• Orbit LiPoChecker pro (1s to 5s packs)

• Schulze LiPoBal 8 (1s to 8s packs)

• Schulze LiPoBal 14 (1s to 14s packs)

• Astro "Blinky" battery balancer (1s to 6s packs)

• Thunder Power Smart Balancer TP205 (2s to 5s packs)

• Thunder Power Lipo Balancer TP210 (2s to 10s packs)

• Electrifly Equinox lipo cell balancer (2s to 5s packs)

A lipo balance charger will individually charge the cells in a lipo pack to insure no cells are

overcharged.
