Charging Harness

[Mike.L]

I have a duratrax ice. It states that it can handle 1-10 cells nimh or nicd but 1-4 cells lipo? Shouldnt it be 1-12 cells? Can it charge 12 cells?

would i be able to make a harness for 2 batteries, to hook up in series and charge 2 at once?

You would think so. However, the max lipo voltage at 4s would be 16.8v @ full charge. 12 NiMH cells could get as high as ~18v during a heavy charge (~1.5v each).

It could charge 12 cells, you just have to do it manually. I've taken my ICE past 19v without ill effects.

thanks!
