I am not even sure where to begin, lets see...
I guess my biggest problem is trying to figure out which balance adapters I am suppose to order along with the chargers - it would probably help if I knew what to call the balance adapters on my batteries in the first place.
Not counting cheap 2S lipos, I own the following:
2 Kong Power - 3S1P 2200mAh 25C Lipos
1 Align - 3S1P - 2100 mAh 20C Lipo
1 Align - 6S1P - 2500 mAh 25C Lipo
Chargers:
DN Power 4S charger (replaced by):
Bantum BC6-10
Now here is where things get confusing:
The Kong Power batteries have what I consider "mini" balance adapters. I would love to know what their official name is? (is this a TP connector?)
The Align 6S1P batter has similar style balance adapters - but two of them. One with 4 wires and one with 6? This is confusing me.
The Align 3S1P has a normal sized balance adapter (not the mini) - definitely different than the Align 6S1P battery. What is this style officially called? Why did they change styles?
My Bantam BC6-10 charger came with the ThunderPower/Apex/FP balance adapter which seems to fit what I am calling the "mini" balance leads.
Which means that my Kong Power batteries and Align 6S1P batter fit fine, however, my Align 3S1P does not.
Why do my 2 Aligns have 2 different style connectors? Can't everyone just get along?
Anyway, I guess other than venting, I have 2 questions:
What do I need to connect my left out Align 3S1P battery with its non-mini sized balance connector?
Can I connect my 6S1P Align to the TP/Apex/FP adapter? Does the 4 wire connector go into the receptor labeled 1-3 and the 6 wire connector go into the receptor labeled 4-8? Thats a total of 10 wires for a 6S battery. How does this work?
I think I would pay extra if someone made a universal adapter board which included all styles of connectors on one board.
Wow. And I haven't even begun to understand the art of Lipo conditioning.
Thanks for any help...
