Got sent 15.2v 4s batteries instead of 14.8V. XLX2 no go. How about Max 5 esc?

This is the charger that my friend bought. It's pretty much the same as mine from what I can tell and seen :

Sky Rc is one of the charger OEMs, a lot of other chargers that are on the market are just rebranded Sky RC chargers or they use Sky RC hardware/software inside their charger. Hitec, Dynamite, HTRC, Protek are all Sky RC rebrands or use Sky RC stuff as their base.

First one is done. Under the normal lipo mode it only went to 16.8v, which is OK for the XLX2, since 16.8x2=33.6v. Thanks. I learned something today.

Yes, just charge them as you would charge a normal lipo. I've been using them for months now. Like it was mentioned before, my charger has the HV lipo option, which I will never use.

I was wrong according to their website they are HV batteries.

Now if you have a high voltage cell they charge up to 4.35 each and you can exceed total voltage.

HIgh Voltage Lipos peak at 4.35 volts, Yes. Standard plain Jane ones are 4.2v Max. Many ESC's cannot handle HV lipos. Quality ESC's usually will not even initialize seeing the HV voltage. ESC won't turn ON. HV lipos are expensive. Don't make the mistake of buying them, if you can't use it. But most any decent charger can be adjusted to charge a HV lipo. And if your charger allows, you can just charge HV lipo cells to just a 4.2v limit, if you wanted to. It will be fine with the ESC.
Batteries usually list the volts on their packs and if a HV, it must say so somewhere.
The voltage shown on the Lipo label is the "Nominal voltage". Some cheap lipo brands are incorrectly labeled. Been there. Be careful.
