A newbie Q....



my plane I bought just arrived.... the thunder power 730mah battery in it looks like this WITHOUT the white charger connector attached.....

I assumed there'd be one attached like seen here:

I've not attached one before..........would the wires be buried in there under the tape on the end? How do I get them out? How dies one of those charger plugs attach? Crimp or soder?

Looks like the TP pack you got does not come with the charging tap. You can charge the pack by selecting the # of cell and the charging current at 0.7A max. You must use the charger design for lipo battery.

Unless you are good at electronics and soldering, I won't open up the pack, chances that it may turn into a one time torch and very dangerous.
