Ok I wana go lipo and i heard when you charge lipos you have to have an equlizer or something to make sure the individual sells are charged the same.
Is there a good lipo battery where i can plug it into a suber brain set it on lipo and set the volts/amps and just let it charge and when i am done uding it unplug it from the esc and charge it again when i am ready. I know the a123 batt. do this but there voltage is less than normal. Is there a battery and lipo combo you can recommend to where i can just set it plug it in and charge i do not minde seting the lipo capable charger up for lipo every time i use it but i do not want to modify a charger and a balancer like i have heard most people do i just wana pull the charger out of the box, set it for the right amps and lipo and plug it in and go. buy the way can you do this with a lipo or does it have to be broke in before use and do you have t discharge after every time. thanks for answering

You are referring to a balancer. Basically, charging the batteries IS just like you describe: plug them in, set your charge current, number of cells, and go. The balancer just monitors each cell in your pack to make sure they are getting the same charge. Think of it as having insurance for having matched cells at all times.

Whatever charger you get, the Hyperion LBA10 is a nice balancer and will take care of you.

so is there any modification to hook this up to my superbrain and then a lipo
also whats the cost and how many do i need

No modification is needed. You plug the input of the LBA10 into the charger, then the battery's main power and the balancer connectors into the other end of the LBA10.

The only time it may get complex if you decide to use and charge two packs at once. This requires a Y adaptor for the power and the balancer. If you are using one pack, it's quite simple.

By the way, which Superbrain are you planning to get? There might be better and maybe cheaper solutions...
