Do any of you drone people use these? They are my latest Toy going into a tiny airplane.
I have a bench power supply 1-30V with current limiting capability.

What setting should I set it to, to make it charge? The instruction say see your batteries owner manual. 300 bucks and no charger. What the fudge!!!?  |O



Don't I take nice pictures?

I don't know if this helps:
http://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/636447/fat-shark-predator-v2.html?page=7&original=1

It's the manual page related to charging.

Maybe you will need to search for a "standard" 7.4v lipo pack charger? Or you could check for some details on how a generic charger works when "setting up for 760  mA 7.4V Li-po" as they say.

I'm so tempted to plug those banana leads into the power supply and set const. current. I thought I saw a youtube video where some one did this and they just timed it and unplugged it when it was done.

... You're doing RC aircraft stuff and don't have a charger?  :-DD

Get a cheapo IMAX B6 charger ($40USD) and thank me later. It'll save you a lot of trouble -- and be safer! -- compared to charging with a bench supply.

I have the charger that came with the battery for the plane. Will that work if voltage is the same but mAh is different?
