  6. Is it ok to solder new connectors to a lipo even if it has a bit if charge in it? Of not then can I just attach crocodile clips to the bullet connectors and discharge it?

    1. 4eyes

      4eyes

      Don't discharge a lipo! It's fine to solder it as it is. Is not fine to buy a lipo if you don't know how to use them.

    2. dlegend

      dlegend

      As 4eyes says you can solder connectors on just be carful not to touch the + - together which is just common sense
