You cannot charge an RC battery with a power cord. Use a proper charger designed for LiPo batteries. Set the charging current based on the battery’s C rating, ideally to C/10. Always use a charge bag for safety. Avoid discharging the battery fully and follow balanced charging methods to protect the battery and ensure safety.
Next, check the battery’s voltage and capacity. These are usually printed on the battery label. Match these values with the charger settings. Always connect the charger to the power source before attaching it to the battery, preventing sparks or short circuits.
While charging, monitor the battery for signs of swelling or excessive heat. If you notice any irregularities, disconnect the charger immediately. Charge batteries in a fireproof container for added safety.
After charging, allow the battery to cool before use. Proper care extends the life of your RC battery.
