Not a Quad - New Battery Charger
While doing some research to determine what type of power supply I needed to provide voltage for the battery charger I discovered that the charger I had purchased was not suitable to charge the 500mAh 2S battery.
The issue was that the Hobbyking Balance Charger is unable to change the charge rate from the 1Ah and would therefore try to charge the 500mAh battery too quickly. This can be dangerous and can lead to LIPO batteries exploding.
To ensure I could safely charge the 500mAh battery I purchased a Turnigy Accucell-6 charger from Hobbyking. This has allowed me to safely charge the smaller battery at 100mAh.
