Hi Don here....thanks for past replies ! I have a power adapter that is rated at 4 amps out , came from telescope motor drive. It charges the ebv4 quickly. Is this going to hurt the lipo?

How is the charger connected to battery?
1. As DJ mentioned, if it isnt a lipo battery charger, you stand a high risk of blowing up the battery. By blowing up, I mean a 10K degree fireball that will burn down your house.
2. Please research C ratings on batteries. It is safe to charge at 1C to keep from damaging the battery.
You can charge some batteries faster however you will need to check with the battery manufacturer though as they all vary.
My advice, for what it's worth, charge slowly. If you cannot wait for a slow charge buy another battery and have one on charge while the other is working and vice versa.
Provided the power supply to the balance charger can provide enough current and is in the voltage range apecified by the balance charger it will make no difference however you should only use power supplies which come with the device you are powering.
