    Can some one tell me how I can charge four lipos at once. With a parallel harness When I can't add the amps to do the job so how can I Use my computer. I have ordered a lipo charging harness. With a usb connector.
    I also have a good charger but it has 4mm banana plugs on it. But can not find an adapter to go from 4mm banana plugs. Is it possible to cut off the usb connector and solder on two 4 mm banana plugs? thanks for the help.

    Need more details. What kind of LiPos, voltage etc. What are you using for a charger now? Post a link to what you bought.

    2A, AC DC USB power supplies are cheap, but I can't recommend a set up till I know what's involved.

    Yes and that charger will work from your computer, how long it will take is hard to say as the computer's output may be on low side. I would recommend getting the adapter I linked to to, or maybe this one.

    With inexpensive China stuff like you bought there is always a chance of a malfunction that could damage your computer and the adapter may actually charge a bit faster.

    BTW I have a green version of that charger, it charges nicely right to about 4.18V. That said it's very chintzy, be very careful plugging the batterries in the first few timed, it needs a very gentle hand.

    Maybe I should just forget the five way charger and the harness, and get a power supply for my I-max B5 Would that be a good idea.? thank you so much for the help.
