Weird Lipo?

Isn't it unusual to have a 2S 7.4 LiPo without a balance charger connector? This is the battery out of a toy grade Mebo robot someone gave me. Just has pos/neg to a proprietary connector. I don't have the charger.

    I used to see a lot of them, around 10 years ago when RC started going electric.

    There's probably a simple enough way to balance them internally.

    You're brave! I'm too chicken to open one up.

    Yep, see that all the time. We have several products we build at work with 2 wire LiPos. Open them up, and you will find a charge controller and overcurrent/overtemp protection device.

    Livin' on the edge. That's how I roll!

    Does this mean you're not planning to attend my marshmallow, hot dog & Lipo roasts this summer? I love fireworks!

    Speaking of which, our local city fireworks show had a halftime spectacular and a finale, both about the same. I presume it wasn't an accident. :)
