G200 Battery Questions

[papa-alpha]

I am flying a Gaui 200 with both Eflite 2S 800mah and Gaui 2S 800mah. Both batteries have a 3 pin balancing connector on them. I have a TP 210V balancer that has a 4 pin connector on it for 2S and 3S. Has anyone seen an adapter cable or a male 3 pin connector with leads on it that I can make an adapter with?

The spacing on the pins is different or I'd just slide the battery on the left 3 pins. But it won't work.

Yeap. Elfite and Gaui use the "other" plug.

I think that ReadyHeli carries them, or I bought mine from Common Sense RC. ALso pick up a set of reversing connectors as some packs that use that connector are wired backwards from others.

The one I am using looks pretty much identical to this, I got it on ebay.

I found that a lot of online stores carry the 11.1v adapter, but the 7.4v adapter seemed to be a lot harder to find.

Thanks guys. Big help. I've looked all over for this thing. I ordered the adapter from Common Sense.

I just convert all my taps on all my batteries to thunderpower. I keep a supply of tp taps (4 pin or 6 pin) and just cut and solder the foreign batteries. Takes 10 minutes and I never have to worry about it again. As far as determining the wiring, just compare notes with a standard TP battery vs. the battery you are converting with a voltmeter. They are all doing the same thing, just a different connector and sometimes they reverse the order and/or double up on wires.

Tp tap order is very simple, ground, cell1, cell2, cell3, etc.

is this a good choice for my gaui 200?

It is too wide. You have about 25 mm between the frame sides.
