Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Volantex V-PC3202 charger compatible with all Volantex RC batteries? — No, this charger is specifically designed for 2S (2-cell) 7.4V lithium polymer batteries. It is not suitable for 1S, 3S, or higher cell count batteries. Check your battery's specifications to confirm it is a 2-cell 7.4V pack before using this charger. The charger is compatible with many Volantex RC aircraft including the P51 Mustang, Spitfire, F4U Corsair, BF109, P40, Zero, and P47, as well as various Volantex RC boats.
- What power source does this charger need? — The V-PC3202 is a USB charger, meaning it connects to any standard USB power source. This includes computer USB ports, dedicated USB mains power adapters (commonly 5V output), portable USB power banks, or any other device with a standard USB outlet. This makes it extremely versatile for charging at home, in the workshop, or at the flying field.
- How long does it take to charge a 2S battery with this charger? — Charge time will depend on the capacity of your battery and the power output of your USB source. Smaller batteries such as 400mAh or 500mAh packs commonly used in Volantex RC aircraft will charge relatively quickly, typically within 1-2 hours depending on the USB power supply being used. Using a higher-amperage USB adapter (2A or higher) will reduce charging time compared to a standard 1A adapter.
- Can I leave my battery connected to this charger after it's fully charged? — We recommend disconnecting your battery once it has finished charging to preserve long-term battery health and safety. Do not leave batteries unattended on charge for extended periods.
- Is this charger suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The Volantex V-PC3202 is one of the simplest and most beginner-friendly chargers available. There are no complex settings, programming menus, or multiple charging modes to navigate. Simply connect your 2S battery and plug in the USB cable — the charger handles the rest automatically. This makes it an excellent choice for those new to RC flying or RC boating who want reliable, straightforward equipment without a steep learning curve.
- What makes this charger different from multi-channel chargers? — This is a dedicated single-purpose 2S charger, which means it is optimised specifically for charging 2S 7.4V lithium batteries. Unlike multi-channel chargers that offer flexibility for different battery types and cell counts, the V-PC3202 focuses on doing one job extremely well. The trade-off is simplicity and portability — it's smaller, lighter, more affordable, and easier to use than a large multi-function charger, making it perfect if you primarily operate Volantex 2S aircraft and boats.

If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
