I bought a charger for the batteries that were included with my kit. They're pricey batteries and I'm glad they were included but I wish I'd known about the charging requirement beforehand.

This is the charger I got and it works fine:

You can't charge the batteries while they're in the Rasptank - you have to take them out and charge them separately.

It would be great if there were a parallel charging connector - maybe one which was compatible with std RC 2S connections - so that you could charge whilst the batteries were left in the tank.

The BEST solution would be a wireless charging addon, and a project for the tank to find it's charge station!
This is tricky because the RPI should really be turned off whilst charging.
