    If you can afford a decent charger, get it. Also a decent charger should be able to charge different types of lipos like LifePo4 and etc. Ok, a balancer/ charger is necessary for safety and longer life of lipo.

          What kind of charger are you using right now ? Picture or link to it would good.

          It will be fine with the lipo's you have,
          But you need to check the boat over good first.
          Also you need to lube the flex shaft good,
          Than when you run it in the water.
          Run it for 1 minute and than take the hatch off and make sure there is no water getting in the hull of the boat,
          If all is good run it for 3 minutes more and than bring it in.
          Because the run is done for those packs.
          Than charge them back up and see how many mah they take with that charge and right it down.

              Ok this is the charger I guess, http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG7...rger-6S-6A-50W
              Looks like it should do the job for you.
              Let us know how many MAH it takes to charge each pack,
              Also how they balance out to.
