charing batteries on the go

Hey guys, just wondering how you guys charge the batteries when you are out flying.. Thanks!

Take your pick..
1) Bring a small generator
2) Bring an inverter
3) get a 12v Lipo charger and make a plug to fit the Solo battery.

What Lipo charger would you recommend? Don't they charge faster too?

There are many to choose from. But something like this would allow you to charge from a 12v battery at 5a (more then the Solo charger, but well within the safe 1c rating). Many flyers will bring a 12v deep cycle auto/marine battery to charge from. If you don't, you would need to keep you vehicle running if you charged more than once or twice.

Thanks for the update! Is there one that can charge 2 batteries at once? Also will the Lipo charger charge faster then the 3dr one?

Yes, You can get chargers that charge up to 4 at a time. Keep your charging set to 5.5a or less. Current charger is only 3.2a I believe.
