a simple way to charge 29.6v of lipo? (2x 14.8v)

[gerlewis]

ok, my knowledge is slowly increasing!

Im looking at getting 2 x turnigy 14.8v 5000mah sticks. and running them in series on my cyclone to achieve 29.6v.

But, what about charging... would I need to split them into 2 sticks and charge 1 at a time, or could I leave them in series and charge them that way somehow?
(it would be a pain to have to butcher my battery pack everytime)

Secondly, is there a Cheap lvc cutoff available (i saw recumpence working on something), or would I best get the turnigy watt metter and keep my eyes peeled?

Cheers!
Ger

There are 8 cell R/C chargers!

Or if you wanted to use a cheaper 4 cell charger you could arrange a special little harness to make it easy to charge. Others have done this, just leave the parallel adapter harness on the charger permanently.. unplug the pack from the bike, and plug it in your charge setup.
