I'll tell you one thing: Do NOT overcharge them. Also, make sure you use a LiPO charger.

Could u post the link of the charger you have? In addition to overcharging never discharge the lipos fully either. Fully discharging can damage the cells of the lipos.

Don't buy from airsoft sites.

Buy a better charger.

My advice would have been to not buy a lipo unless you're gonna be playing a game that would last over 4 hours or if you're going to be firing over 2k shots. I've survived most field games here in AZ on a single charge of my 8.4V NiMH. I've only run out once, in Cali when I didn't charge my battery the night after I chrono'ed. It died in the last hour of a 6 hour game.
