Hi,
A friend just gave me a flightpower 6s 3700 Mah 25 evo battery and I don't have a charger. I do have some 11.1 volt chargers and was wondering if there is some way to hook two chargers to one battery. I thought maybe there is a converter or something. Many thanks

It's hard to figure out what you're saying?

The simple answer is NO, do not connect two chargers in series. You will be risking damage to the batteries and chargers, plus the LIPO fire hazard due to incorrect charging.

Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have. !

Just break down and buy a 6s lipo charger. They range from $75-300+

You can get some pretty good ones for around 110-280. ThunderPower, Bantam, Hyperion are some good ones to look at.

I thought that the 6s is basically 6 batteries put together though....can't I just get some connectors to hook it up to 2 chargers. I was looking on the internet and I saw a tp610c......is that a good charger?

Are you saying you want to split your 6s pack to make two 3s packs so you can charge them on your two chargers that will not charge the 6s pack?

There is no problems doing it that way. But the way you posted got everyone confused .

you would have to split the balance tap into 2- 3 cell leads,and you must use a LIPO charger...plus the chances of getting all 6 cells properly balanced using 2 different chargers would not be that good as how would the two chargers communicate??

do you really want to risk a fire or explosion to save some money?I'm all about saving money,but not when it comes to personal safety....the CELLPRO10s is a great charger that will do up to 10s packs or 2 5cell packs at the same time its about $190 bucks

lipos are safe if used right,just please be careful
