I had a question about these batteries: http://www.xmodsinternational.com/Xmods-3.6v-650mAh-Lithium-Ion-Rechargeable-Batteries-2.html

Like what do they come with wires, plugs, straps etc...
Also what do they look like? If someone could post a pic.

Also what would be a good charger for them.

I don't believe they come with anything they are just a set of cells that you can use to replace dead cells in an existing pack or if you have the wires you can build your own.

Any decent lithium ion charger can be used, these wont have a balancer plug so you won't need a ton of money invested into a charger.

Alright cool, so if I get these I just need the wires dean plugs and some sort of charger. Also is there any particular guage of wire I should use? Like 16 gurage or 18 guage?

Like would this work for a charger?

Wire's up to you... I like 18 though... try to get the deans noodle wire as it is much easier to work with.

That charger should do what you need it to it just looks like the losi version of those cheap and crappy ebay ones.... if you want to run li-ions in different scale cars then look for a better charger otherwise that should be fine.
