Question with charge wiring

Post by Rad_Schuhart »

Hi all. I know it could be dangerous and people recomends to not to do it but I want to do something to charge my batteries inside the tanks. I dont want to keep opening them everytime I want to charge or to see how much battery is left. So, can somebody here draw a little diagram of how I should I do the wiring?

Im using a 2S Lipos.

Thanks!

Hi Rad,
I would be very weary of charging Lipos in a tank. There is always a risk of fire or something worse. :wtf:
I always charge mine in a lipo fire resistant bag.
I think that the taigen " in tank charging" wiring is only for nicad or nimh batteries.
