First off, sorry I haven't been posting in a while, I've been busy. Now for the instructable! To start you need a battery charger that can charge lipos. I'm using a venom stronghold charger, it's a multi chemistry, DC powered charger

Now determine the power o your lipo, in my case it's a 4 cell, 6.7 amp battery, i charge mine at 1c. This means tht I charge at6.7 amps. Some battery's can take upwards of 4c, so 4 time the normal amperage.

I want to add something to step 2, always keep your lipos in a cool, dry, and safe place, I keep my lipos in a charging bag, then I store them in an ammo box. I put a sock with rice I. The ammo box to catch moisture in the box too.

Now it's time to plug the charger into the power supply. I'm using car batteries in series .

Now time to select lipo charging, select which kind of charging, I recommend balance charging. Then select the corresponding values that apply to your battery
