Hi,  
Does anyone know of a charger for a 3-pin LiPo battery, preferably USB-C?

I assume this is not suitable due to needing a 12VDC 5A input.

I have a similar one with a built in power supply, 250VAC input.  
Works very well.

Hi Adam,

The charger Jim linked will work perfectly.  
The yellow wire is a temperature sensor so you won’t be able to plug it straight in, you’ll need some kind of adapter.

You could also use and 1 cell lipo charger.

Hi James, thanks for your help. I guess I’ll search or make an adapter.
