Gorgon - Zeee 2S Lipo Battery 6500mAh Charging Question

[Doogan13]

I thought I can charge these from the S120 smart charger that comes with the Gorgon but I'm getting an error LED light when I try to. Is this not compatible? Everyone recommended these batteries as first upgrade to the Gorgon but not a mention of a new charger. Any help would be great, thank you!

That S120 charger only charges Spektrum "smart" batteries with the 3-wire plug. You'll need to buy a generic LiPo balance charger from Amazon or your local hobby shop

would something like this work fine?

Yup, that'll work, but only up to 3s, and it'll be slow charging. I'm not even sure that one has a storage "charge" option. You will def need that.

I would spend the money and invest in a good one (200w+). When you get a 4s or 6s, you'll need a high quality charger. I have these 2. I love the Hota!

I appreciate the rec's and information. I really don't plan on going up from here. My dad got me two gorgon's for my birthday so I just want to upgrade these for fun. Would this middle tier one suffice?

That would work for your needs. You will need a balance board though.

The ISDT 608AC has worked fantastic for all my batteries up to 6s. Doesn't require a separate balance board.

This one? Nothing else I need to buy?

• 【Upgraded Version】The OVONIC Mate 1 has built-in balancing features. Eliminating the balance board can significantly simplify the LiPo battery charging process, reduce complexity and risks, and, in some cases, improve charging efficiency and equipment longevity.

Still need a balance board or would this be fine?

 

[Smilinbri]

Idk. Never used one without a balance board. So either try that one, or get a mid-range one w/o internal one and buy a balance board. Just make sure the specs work for the battery you are using and that it has at least balance charging and storage mode options. You got this. A little research will go a long way.

Correct, that's all you need
