DNA 200 Hot Swapping LiPo's & Reliable LiPo Charger? 3A Charging?

[vaperXant]

I just bought a dna 200 and I am learning the ropes. I have done a decent amount of research and it seems new devices must be calibrated to the battery, which also affects the internal resistance.

This brings me to my question, can I hotswap LiPo packs throughout the day without doing some type of calibration? I have also seen the battery testing tool and I am cautious to use that until I learn a lot more. The mod I got is the dna 200 VaporShark. It uses the 900mAh 3S FullyMax Battery. The local shop is carrying spares but they don't carry LiPo charger nor do they even know how such a battery would be charged. I need to buy one that can charge my liPo correctly(safely) and charge it decently fast. I would like to spend less then $60. The battery has 18 gauge ground wires from what I can tell. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be great, amazon or any online store will work//

Lastly, My Nexus 6 comes with a special turbo charger, It charges up to 3A. My vaporshark comes with zip charging which I believe charges at 2A. Is it same to use my 3A charger, when I hooked it in it charged around 1.7A

Vaporshark had no idea they even called corporate, couldnt answer basic questions like how to put in temp mode, if the mod's voltage is set correctly, if they carry a charger what what type i need. It was like a sad joke...

Isn't that the purpose of this forum, to ask advanced questions and discuss about mod's batteries?

Sorry to hear they can't help. Yeah, we're here for you but some things are best handled by the supplier. At least then it's on record for possible warranty support.

The Vaporshark does have a nice screwless design, but I wouldn't recommend hot swapping batteries. The lipo is in there pretty tight and over time I could see you damaging the wiring or connectors.

For a charger in your price range look at the iMax B6AC
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-SKYRC...1449713879&sr=8-1&keywords=skyrc+imax+b6ac+v2
Standard charge rate for a lipo is 1C. So in your case 0.9 amps. if you go any higher you should monitor the temperature.

It is safe to use your nexus adapter with the vaporshark. It will charge a little bit faster if you get a standard 2.4 amp (12 watts) usb adapter. The Motorola adapter you have now is rated for 1.67A (8W) @ 5v

Instead of buying lipo chargers , batteries and wall adapters, just buy another VaporShark.
