best way to charge batteries without opening system?

Post by vladsokar »

so i have 2 3.7v li po batteries that both have pcbs prewired on then i also have a dpdt switch. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas about how to wire it without having to take the thing apart and charge them. I got the batteries through batteriespace.com and it came with a warning sheet saying don't charge 2 batteries at the same time. any ideas?

Do you have a pcb for the lipos? And also, do you have a charger and a female jack for it?

the batteries have pcbs pre wired into them. i have a charger with the metal clamps. I do have another battery pack with a plastic male end, and my smart charger has an attachment for a female end. would i be able to hack off the male end of the other battery pack and integrate it into my lipos?

Just mount the female end to the outside of the case, and then you can plug your charger in.

what? the female end is to the charger. The batteries i have only have a negative and positive wire coming out. I would have to hack off the male end of my nimh batterie pack and wire it to the batteries. Can i do that considering it's a plug for a nimh batterie and not a lipo? also can i charge them both at the same time if i wire them together?

If your charger has a female end, and you're trying to put the male end on your portable, something's going to be poking you while you're playing. :lol: Image Get it now?
