I have a Syma X5C-1.
Exact kit if this helps is: Potensic® Luxury Collection Upgraded Version Syma X5C-1 quadcopter and Carrying Case for Syma X5C-1 X5C X5 Quadcopter Drone FJPJ0125
Based on a recommendation from a person who posted a video showing this working I ordered three 750 mAh Batteries.
(Turnigy nano-tech 3.75 volt 750 mAh batteries)
The batteries that came with the QuadCopter are 650 mAh batteries.
I plugged the battery into the 4 in 1 charger that came with the kit, and the charger smoked, a blister formed and died.
I then placed the battery into the QuadCopter and it started to smoke so I quickly removed it. No known damage. (I flew it for an hour today using the original 650 mAh batteries)
These are the original batteries and charger:
3.7V 600mAh 20C Lipo Battery(4PCS) with 4 In 1 X4 Battery Charger for Syma X5 X5C Parts
Needless to say, I'm a bit afraid to use my three new 750 mAh batteries.
I also purchased an 'Intelligent Battery Conditioner'
GT POWER Model 606-D Li-Po LiPo Li-Polymer R/C Digital Charger (EU Plug) BC055
It came with a lot of cables for charging, but none fit the batteries my QuadCopter uses.
Here is a picture of the connector:
(and the replacement battery I am now afraid to use)
Battery and Connector Picture
Having posted all this my questions are:
Why did I melt my charger with this battery?
My understanding of amps is, you can't push amps out of a battery, only draw them, so a 1200 mAh battery should have done no more harm when used in a device than a 600 Mah battery. (at least from an ampere standpoint)
The second question I have is:
Where can I find a cable to allow me to charge these battery type with the 606-D charger I bought. I can't even find the name of this connector. I have Spade outputs on the charger and the supplied cables (many of them) use Deans connector for the splice between each connector type.
I have no problem soldering etc, if I can find the parts. I jsut don't know the name of this connector.
Thanks All, and Happy New Year.
