female cellpro balance lead connector to male jst-xh? for reaktor + paraboard v3

[theskyisthelimit99]

I cant seem to find this anywhere, but wondering if there is some way to take a cell pro balance connector (JST-PA?) / FMA which is non-standard and have a female connector on one end and the standard jst-xh (?) on the other..

The reaktor 300 watt dual for instance, doesnt have any "cell pro" compatible leads on it.

Thanks in advance

ProgressiveRC cells a Revoletrix extension that includes a make and female connector. You could harvest the female connector, that's what I did.

However, it may not work depending Revolectrix board you are using. If you are using any of the original board that require FMA wiring mode, its not going to work because the pinout is different than JST-XH. If it the MPA, or the SPA, it would work. But it would just be better to replace the interconnect cable. Which board do you have?

I'm using the reaktor dual 300 watt charger in combination with the safe 40a paraboard v3..

So basically I need to go from the male connector on the battery that is cellpro type, to say a female type connector then on the end of that a jst-xh male that can then go into the paraboard (or the reaktor, same either way).

Seems that none exist in this exact manner... i'm not really comfortable cutting balance lead connectors and swapping, not because i cant, but the whole fire hazard if i screw it up.

This is only an issue on one small 3s battery i have and another 3s 3000 or so one.. which i could just not use and still be ok either way, unless i can find a connector then i have extras

Assuming there is no safety issue.. i guess i'd be willing to take an fma (JST-PA) female pigtail cable and solder on a jst-xh, assuming i knew the pin arrangements on the other end..

The real issue is finding the connector that is female.

or perhaps i can just cut the fma connector off the battery and put on the JST-XH?
