Am I the only one who is upset that I must make a connector for every battery because I bought a TP 1010 charger and a TP 210 Balancer? Am I missing something. Is this setup only good for TP batteries? I have an Align battery for my Trex600 and a few eflights I need to charge and would love to use this charging setup. Is there a multi connector or multi converter for this thing?
Thank You,

Welcome to the proprietary world of Lipo batteries. You will have to make adapters for each different brand of battery that you own if you want to balance them. Or you could by each battery supplier's balancer.
This outfit has pre-wired adapters and parts to make up your own.

We do have adapters that will allow you to adapt mqany different Lipos to various other manufacturers products. Additionally our digital charging system comes with a set of adapters that allow charging of 99% of the packs in the market.

What would be best would be to find teh proper connector and convert all your packs to the same one, preferably the one that you use the most.

Align felt your pain and made these adapters just so we could use the 1010C/210V.

awesome isn't it!?!?!?!
does anyone know where to get the TP balancer connectors. The opposite ends from what is on the battery? I can't find them anywhere. Well at least not the 6 pin version. 4pin is easy enough to find. I see them soldered on circuit boards but that is about it.

Even the TP extension use the circuit board style. It has two battery endson the cable, then a little circuit board with two of the male ends.
yes, but how many amps can the TP circuit board style take? Also, do the tp connectors go by any other name?

The balnce connections are not supposed to take many amps. I know the Great Planes Equinox (aka Hyperion LBA6) cna do something like max 3 amps through the balance connector.
yes, it seems most of these chargers are designed to use the main leads as well for charging, this is different than on my equinox balancer or my balancepro 6s.
