Justhandguns Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I have been looking for the Losi Lipo charger and battery in the UK? I was not able to find any hobby shops selling the combo. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesChatz Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Here Only place in the UK I have found, and delivery will probably take a while as they order everything in I believe. It might be better to ask another shop to order it in with the part number "AB0862", as you may get it cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should consider ordering it from the US. I don't understand why they do not import these Lipo charger/battery combo into the UK when they sell the Micro-T here!?

JamesChatz Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 You should be able to order it from any shop because Horizon Hobby are the distributors and it is on their site. If you order it from America, it will come with an American wall plug, so you will need an adaptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsetjimbo Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I have spoken to Horizon Hobbies. Basically they haven't had any manufactured (as yet) with a molded UK 3 pin plug. Because of this they can't sell it into the UK via their retailers. At the moment the only option is to import them and then use an adapter plug.

RobG Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Or just buy the lipo and see if you can get a cheap lipo charger over here my normal charger is lipo ready som im just going to order the lipo. A I have just ordered the Lipo anyway as my original micro-t battery has had it so thought I might as well get Lipo. I have a Lipo charger at home anyway that I use for my 1/10th Lipo's but wondered if I might get away with charging the micro lipo battery on the stock battery powered charger - the lipo comes with built in protection circuitry according to the Modelsport page. Other wise my LIPO charger's lowest setting is 0.3 Amps - which is nearly 2C rate for this battery (180mah). Advice please Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockers Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 if you are going to charger the lipo on the charger you get with a micro t , then dont not good for your health, use a sutable lipo charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesChatz Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Sounds like you may have to get a new charger, as charging on the ni-mh is a big no, and 2C will be pushing it, especially for a little pack like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided what the heck - how big an explosion can a battery the size of a penny sweet make? Charged OK at 0.3 amp on my Prolux Lipo capable charger. Only got 125mah into it though (should take 180mah). So it suffices but I'm not sure it is doing the battery any long-term favours or am getting the most run time out of it. But it didn't blow up at least Any one thinking of trying the same 'do so at your own risk' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1000 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I have been looking at these too found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Micro-T-230-MAH-Lipo...1QQcmdZViewItem Only problem is takes 2 hrs to charge.
