LYKA Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Can anyone help with a way to charge those 2 cell Batteries for the E-flite 130 and MCPX helicopters? Those silly things little charges that come with the E-flite kits are well I rather not comment on what I think of them I have 3 and all 3 are useless and keep flashing up they have a fault and will not charge the battreries I think the best thing to do with them is bin them.I have a charger I use for all my electric models but can not find a lead that will fit my charger and fit on the e-flite battery connecter .I do not want to buy another e-flite Celectra charger because I am sure that will go u/s like the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tee Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi Lyka. Sussex Model Centre do an adptor lead to link to a normal 2s JST/XH socket for use on balancer/ chargers or adaptor boards. Just bought one myself. Been out of stock for some time but now back in stock. works well. E Flite ultra micro EFL charger plug adaptor. SMC-RE-EFLA700UD at £8.49. Not sure how to do links (will have to read the tutorial again) but it is under "all batteries/ chareger accessories" on their home page index. Hope this helps.

Pete B Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I can't offer a recommendation but whilst I was idly browsing your question I came across these Turnigy packs which seem to be well-regarded for the 130, LYKA, in case you're looking for additional packs too. No stock at present but one for the future, perhaps... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Posted by LYKA on 13/02/2014 14:49:10: I have 3 of those silly things little chargers that come with the E-flite kits and all 3 are useless I would take one of the three duff chargers, remove the gubbins and solder wires to the back of the standard connector (not sure if its 2 wires or 3), and then bring these out of the case so they can be clipped to a 'proper' charger or even fit a standard plug so it plugs into the proper charger. So basically you're using the mechanics of the duff charger as an adapter. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
