I've just bought a Huina 1593 Excavator and the USB charger that comes with it takes 2-4hrs to charge it according to the manual as it looks like it outputs 7.4v 1A.
I have a better charger (see photos below), I can set it to Li-Ion and select the amps and amount of cells so I'm wondering if I can use that instead to get a quicker charge?
Im no electrical expert so the things stopping me using it right now is the fact it has a deans connector on it, I'm not sure what amount of amps it would be ok to charge the battery at, and the fact I'm not sure I can change the voltage? (It's an old charger and I don't have the manual anymore). And the fact that the Huina battery has 3 leads instead of two, I assume it uses 1 lead for balancing whereas my charger has a whole seperate plug board for balancing plugs and of course the batter has what is probably a proprietary plug?
So can I make this charger work somehow? If not, can anyone recommend a decent faster charger that will work?
The Huina batter is Li-ion, 7.4v 18650/1200mAh
