battery charger help - resolved!

Post by lovablechevy »

ok guys, i'm still not very good at this. i'm not sure how to tell which charger to get for my battery pack.

i'm using 3 of these for 11.1v. i'm getting this for my pcb.

the question is, which charger to get? or will all of them technically work...? these are my choices:

$19.95
$25.95
$26.99
$29.95

and if you wouldn't mind explaining to me why i should choose what charger, that'd be great.

thanks guys!

They all will work, but there are differences between them.

The first one is rated at .5 amps, your battery is 5.7 amps. That means you're looking at a very long charging time.

The second and third are the exact same thing, except the second comes with another plug. Rated at 1.5 amps, fairly quick charge, only a few hours.

The last one is the best choice, 1.8 amps, which makes it the fastest of the 4 chargers. I'd recommend that one.
