Hi couple of questions

[Westie1]

Evening all,
I've bought a budget turnigy 2s 3s charger from HK and on plugging it into a typical 3-12v charger the green led blinks and iv read it's due to the really low 300ma rating on the supply.
Can anyone tell me what power supply they used on theirs?

Am I right in thinking an appliance will only draw the current required?
So if I use for example a 2a 12v charger but it says it needs 80ma input would that be an issue or am I getting confused? The reason I ask is I have a 12v car battery charger I could possibly use.
Thanks for any help
Rob

If it's the small chargers I'm thinking of it should be fine,
The 0.8 is output charging rate, so it chargers a 0.8amp battery in an hour

So just to follow this up

If you have a blinking green light it isn't trying to balance the cells as some suggest, it's because you haven't enough grunt in your power supply.
I've just plugged in my freeview 12v 1.5a power supply and now have a solid green led to indicate charging

Hope this helps someone as iv struggled to get a straight answer from the net on the blinking led

It's also just charged my 300mah turnigy 2s in less than 30 mins so I'm more than happy for a fiver
