Balance Connector reference?

[Jermo]

Anyone have a reference list for compatibility?

Flight Power
Thunder Power
Align
Great Planes

my current packs use the Align style connector (Hextroniks packs) and I'm looking towards the future so I'll likely need Flight Power connections for the charger I get.

I have FP, TP, Align, Air Thunder and Hextronic 3S packs for my 450. I've found that:

FP = TP
Align = Hextronic = Air Thunder

and based on the adapter information on the FMAdirect website for their Cellpro charger, the Great Planes connector is the same as the Align and Hextronic.

Their PDFs of their compatibility are:

http://www.fmadirect.com/support_docs/item_1231.pdf

for the GP and Align, and:

for TP and FP. The page:

lists a few other connectors and their compatibility, plus links to the above.

So.. Where can I find an adapter to balance FP lipos on my align/hex type balancer?

Nobody? Then where can I find align-type balance connectors and what are they called?

We have the 3S to 6S female (battery side) and 3S and 5S male, harness side in stock, as well as TP 4Pin and 6Pin battery taps.

This is what I need I think, Align Style Balance Tap for 3S Packs, thanks..
But are there already wires attached to the tap? How do I get that tap over to the wires on my batteries? Is there some kind of release mechanism so get the wires out of the tap or are they stuck in there forever?

E-flite and PolyQuest and DN all use the same connectors as Align, but they aren't wired the same way. Some are reversed, and PolyQuest uses a connector with one extra pin, but leaves it blank.

How can you say that PolyQuest uses the same connector as Align and then say PolyQuest uses a connector with one extra pin? I don't get it..

In any case, are you saying, if I buy this:

"This adaptor will convert your existing Thunder Power 3S tap
to a Poly RC, Polyquest or Hyperion 3S tap to use
Hyperion or Polyquest balancers"

I will be able to balance my FP/TP lipos on my Align/Esky type balancer?

I ordered this http://www.grandrc.com/inc/sdetail/37333

I hope that is a female TP tap on the right side there..

They use the same brand/model of conenctor. But my PQ packs use a 5 pin conector with one blank space. But looking at the page referenced, it seems that PQ uses the 5 pin connector for 2S - 4S packs.
