| Hey Rhys. Yeah, be careful of those batteries, I've heard bad stories about fires. Take Reubens advice and charge them somewhere that fire can't spread from, to be safe. I charge mine in a metal biscuit (cookie) tin. Hey - when's your birthday? Not today is it? |

| Hey, Yes they can cause a fire. Most fires are caused my using the wrong settings, punctured cells etc.Have a good read of the manual (mine was also online) and just double check everything... battery size (mah)... number of cells (2s..3s)... battery type (lipo, nimh, etc)and don't leave it unattanded while charging and you will be fine. Do you have a balance lead? |

| i am going to have to find a manual online because it didn't come with one. i was worried when i bought this because there are stickers and signs that say "caution can cause fire". |

| Hey Rhys, yes definitly read the chargers manual. I charge my lipo batteries on a hard surface (fireplace) and never leave them unattended. lipo's are great but they need to be treated with care. |

then connect the wall plug to the charger and bam! i am not sure if there is a certain way to charge the batteries, so i will read the instruction manuel. |

attached to the charger... |
| rhysleo, Image # 13610 | 03 Aug 09 18:53 |
what it looks like... |

connect the wires... |
| rhysleo, Image # 13608 | 03 Aug 09 18:52 |
then you have to take this set of wires and attach the one end to the battery connector and then the other ends to the charger |
| rhysleo, Image # 13607 | 03 Aug 09 18:49 |
this is the right connector |
| rhysleo, Image # 13606 | 03 Aug 09 18:48 |
it comes with a bunch of connectors that are different and you have to find the one that will connect with your battery. |

the charger for my battery came today. apparently almost all the reviews say it is really good and gave it 4 and 5 stars. it was also $30, which is better than the $70 ones at the hobby shop. |

| James, I just ordered a channel 46 receiver crystal. i lost the receipt, but thankfully it is only $8, so no big deal. it is on its way right now. can't wait to fly it! |
