Default How To Charge 3 Cell Li-Po's

We have a Superbrain 977 and we have a couple 3 cell li-po's for our RC18T's.

How do I charge these? There are two cords on them. One with two wires and one with four wires. We also have two cells but we just charged them with the two wired plug, that's what everyone else was doing. I heard on the three cell's you don't want to do that becuase the cell's are not getting balanced. Now you cant just change the plugs and charge them with the four wire plug. How do you do it them. I saw li-po blancers and I'm guessing that is what we will have to buy. If I am right any suggestions on one we should get?

In either case of the 2 cell or the 3 cell the cells are not getting actively balanced. Charge thru the discharge lead just like the 2Cell pack. Plug pack in and set cell count to 3 then push start and verify the word "lipo" on screen.

You get a balancer to plug into the second lead with the 4 wires. Most will balance while charging.

Plug it in, set and forget it.
