I just recieved a 3S2500 Blue Lipo transmitter battery which works fine. Questions: How do I charge it & do I need an adaptor for my iCharger 106B+ lipo chargers?

Kinda scary..

Any LIPO charger should be able to charge it. You may have to make yourself an adapter. Charge it slowly. They are very low c batteries.

NO

You will burn your house down. You need to have a lipo specific charger.

oh uh. You drained it TOO low.
battery is toast. You should clip the ends and dump it in salt water for a couple weeks then throw it away.

Get a lipo alarm that will beep/flash when the battery is too low. so it doesnt happen again.

If you try and charge it again take it outside on some concrete cause it will most likely puff, might burn.

Its a 3S & shows 11.5 volts on a testor so it should be OK to charge.

Then I stand corrected. your charger is a POS and needs to be replaced.

Uh except you tried it on 2 different chargers. 

hmm either your meter is bad, or maybe one of the balance tap wires is disconnected so it can not read the voltage correctly.

Or maybe just one cell is too low. Mesaure each cell with your meter and see what it says.
