Hobby King (?) lipo charger

[Banderboy]

Hi guys, I just got a Fatshark battery for my Headplay, and found this charger. Supposedly the silver button is a stop/start, but it does two different things. The four leds either flash red green red green constantly, or I push the button and red flashes off and on and it chirps each time. Anybody familiar with this charger? Would I be better off just using the charger that came with the Headplay? As always, TIA for any help.

This is the charger.

That is not the best quality charger. I've had really good luck with this one: https://amzn.com/B01B9TERUY

If it is a Fat Shark battery, why not get the Fat Shark charger? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MZ3GTTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mainly because those aren't available. But I suppose one could look for an alternative with 8.4V DC out and .o2 max Amps.

For now you can use the supplied charger, also for the fatshark battery. The only drawback is, it can't balance the two lipo cells and/or discharge to storage level.

I eventually bought this one:

Turnigy Accucell-6 50W 6A Balancer/Charger LiHV Capable (UK Warehouse)

This charger may be a little underpowered when you want to charge larger lipos in the future, and you need your own powersupply for it.

The Fat Shark battery charger is also available here on eBay.
