Reddit mentions of Crazepony 1S LiPo Battery Charging Board Blade Inductrix Ultra Micro JST-PH Parallel Connect Plate mCX mCPX

That may be the case, which would suck. Look into one of these. You can charge 1-6 batteries and it treats them as a single one cell battery. More convenient and less convoluted if you ask me.

I just bought a Makerfire RTF FPV, yay!

I saw the Makerfire team recommended these batteries in their Q/A on Amazon:

Crazepony 4pcs 250mAh 1S 3.7V 35C Blade Inductrix Lipo Battery with 4pcs Plastic Tubes

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSLAA9W

***note: They actually said 220mah when they posted the link to 250mAh, so I don't know which is wrong -- the link, or 220mah recommendation? What battery should I go with?

And this, to charge it:

Crazepony 1S Lipo Battery Charging Board Blade Inductrix Ultra Micro JST-PH Parallel Connect Plate mCX mCPX

Now for my question:

Don't I need some kind of special apparatus to plug this into my wall?

Is that what this is thing is?:
Crazepony SkyRC Quattro 1-Cell 1S Lipo Battery Charger Blade Inductrix Discharger MX mCPX E-flite Connector

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IGK5RSA/ref=psdc_2234135011_t1_B01ID6U4LC

Is that $49 thing good enough? Overkill? Just right?

Thanks!

If you fly with 1s batteries a balance charger might not ever be worth it. (You can't balance a 1s battery) I use the IMAX b6ac but I have 2 other quadcopters that run 4s.

It's nice being able to parallel charge 6 batteries at a time, and makes batteries last longer being able to storage charge. Which both likely do. You'd need a paraboard to do more than one Inductrix battery

Just get a 1s balanceparallel board, make sure the plugs match the batteries you have and follow the normal rules of all batteries at very close to the same voltage and such when using it.

Here is the link to the parallel charger:https://www.amazon.com/Crazepony-Battery-Charging-Inductrix-Parallel/dp/B01ID6U4LC

And here is my lipo charger(works fine with all other lipos):

The charger claims to work with
>Any other RC 3.7V 1S LiPo battery with JST


The batteries are Micro JST 1.25, so not sure if the charger will work. I use this one to charge mine

The batteries you linked are the correct ones, yes.

Do you not want to solder or you dont know how? you can build one with an F3 board so you can add beta flight for a little more (if you have a transmitter already that is)
