Description
WE Charger for 2S to 3S LiPo (2-3 Cells Series – Balanced)
This is a WE balance charger for 2-cell (7.4V) and 3-cell (11.1V) LiPo batteries, as named. WE is a well-known airsoft manufacturer, and a dedicated balance charger like this is the safe, correct way to charge the LiPo batteries that most modern AEGs, HPA engines and electric accessories use.
A UK retailer listing for WE’s 2-3 cell balanced charger names the model as the TE3015 and describes a compact mains charger with LED indicators, supplied with a UK three-pin power lead. It is a simple, no-fuss charger to keep at home or in your kit bag.
How balance charging works
LiPo batteries are made up of individual cells: two in a 7.4V (2S) pack and three in an 11.1V (3S) pack. A balance charger connects to the battery’s thin multi-wire balance lead and charges each cell to the same voltage, so no cell is over-charged or left behind. That protects the battery, helps it last longer and is far safer than charging through the main lead.
The UK retailer listing gives an input of 100-240V AC, a maximum charge current of 1.2A per cell circuit (5W x 3) and support for 2-3 cell LiPo and LiFe batteries in balance mode.
Using it
Plug the charger into the mains, then connect the battery’s balance lead to the correct port for its cell count. The LEDs show when charging is in progress and when the battery is full. Disconnect the battery once charging has finished, and unplug the charger when you are done.

Compatibility
Suitable for 2-cell and 3-cell batteries with a standard balance lead. Because it charges through the balance lead, it works with batteries fitted with any main connector, such as mini Tamiya or Deans. Do not use it to charge NiMH batteries, and check the charger label before connecting any other battery type.
Care and maintenance
Always charge LiPo batteries on a non-flammable surface, ideally in a LiPo safety bag, and never leave them charging unattended. Do not charge a swollen, punctured or damaged battery.
Keep the charger dry and away from heat, unplug it when not in use and check the leads for damage regularly. Store LiPo batteries at storage voltage if they will not be used for a while.
Who is it for?
This charger suits any player who runs 7.4V or 11.1V LiPo or LiFe batteries and wants a simple, reliable balance charger at home or in the kit bag.
Please note: Battery not included. Always follow the safety guidance supplied with your battery and charger.
