Quick question, is a "Supulse" B3 V2 10w charger all I need for a Zeee 5200mah? Or do I have to get something that has a digital readout to know exactly what voltage the battery is at? Sorry, I just don't understand. Not sure if what I bought is strictly for balance/storage charging...or if that fully charges it & when the Esc5 sguts it off that's the correct amount for storage?

Totally agree, there was a few out when I got in the hobby, and I made the newbie mistake of buying a crap charger, and doing zero research on how to charge. I'm retired firefighter, and back then, still on the job, I was cocky about the lipo danger I had heard a little about, thinking, "hell, I run into burning buildings, what's this little thing gonna do, spit at me." Well I hooked up brand new 4s 1300mah, charging on some quick charge setting I think, and not using the balance plug, because my first quad used the balance plug to power the vtx and camera(old school) so I thought that's all it was for. Luckily I did follow the rule about not leaving them unattended, and I did have it in a lipo bag, albeit a cheap one. Bout 3min later, heard a popping noise, by the time I figured out what it was, the fire was through the lipo bag (on a plastic table), a toy grade drone next to it, and my wall, were not only being impinged by the flames withing in seconds, but actually starting to burn. Big bad firefighter man, was running around like a chicken with his head cut off. Fire extinguisher was moved due to doing a remodel, so while wife is screaming and looking for extinguisher, I'm throwing a big mug of ice coffee on the fire, doing nothing, finally wife finds extinguisher, it was only ABC, but I had a larger than normal one, and lipo was past it's hottest burn phase, so the extinguisher put it out barely. Wish I could post pics on here. First thing I did after that, was read everything I could find on the internet and watched a bunch of videos, built me a battery bunker with sand bags and put it all in a back room in basement, in the middle of the room, on a concrete table with unfinished walls, two large fire extinguishers, and two smoke alarms. Well, I lied, first thing me n the wife did, was change our underwear, put some fans in open windows to air the place out, and walked up to the local Mexican restaurant and had several margaritas to calm our nerves..lol. Sorry this turned out to be a novel, didn't think I'd ramble this much on one story, but I was a firefighter for almost 25yrs, and I've seen fires so hot that it melted the paint off one side of our truck from 25ft away. But I have NEVER seen something so small and so innocent looking, get that hot, and put off that much energy, that fast, EVER. So anybody getting into the hobby, this isn't a safety nazi thing where we're just extra careful because we're old farts, this is one part of the hobby you can't mess around with, lipos fires are no joke, be careful all, and happy flying!!

For the greatest part, I've found the AMain "tech" videos extremely rudimentary, to the point of being aimed at 'children'. However, this video is not only NOT rudimentary, but it contains EXTREMELY important AND useful information. It would be great if the battery manufacturers would include this info in the packaging, but they don't. So...thank you AMain for a useful, informative, articulate video.

If you could afford them you got the reds for stock and yellow for modified. They had different discharge rates. Now i'm like...WTH is going on? I just learned not to store charged Lipos.

Very useful and educational video. But one important comment about your advice number 10, batteries must NEVER be disposed of in your household garbage or recycling bins under any circumstances. 😬

Quick question, is a "Supulse" B3 V2 10w charger all I need for a Zeee 5200mah? Or do I have to get something that has a digital readout to know exactly what voltage the battery is at? Sorry, I just don't understand. Not sure if what I bought is strictly for balance/storage charging...or if that fully charges it & when the Esc5 sguts it off that's the correct amount for storage?

Brett, Really appreciated the info about not storing lipos in refrigerators/freezers too. Didn't know that one; and, have a friend that is doing such. FYI...Got a lot of my previous r/c knowledge from your excellent Kevin J when he was in the Bay Area; but, you are my hero at AMain for sharing your thoughts via these videos. Cheers from a Platinum member!

Great video! Cold batteries do retain all the energy tho, they just cannot deliver it while they are still cold. So warm them up and they back to full potential.
