Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / November 2007battery connectors
I am new to the world of Lipo batteries. I have a friend that purchased a new 3 cell battery and when he attached it to his charger via the balancing charge port, he let some of the magic smoke out of the charger. He called the place he purchased the battery from and was told that the pinouts of the balance charge port on the battery were not standard, so he had to switch a few of the pins to make his new battery work with his charger. Is this correct? I would think that the pinouts for the balance charge port would be the same across manufacturers. What do you guys think? Alex. Nope, not all lipos have the same wiring configuration, he should however be able to buy a charger compatible to his lipo or an adaptor like this one -http://www.wattsuprc.com.au/product_detail.asp?pid=EAC129 . There are neither standard balancer connectors nor wiring to those connectors. Peter >I am new to the world of Lipo batteries.

Actually, there are several different standards in use, as well as different connectors. The better lipo chargers come with balance connector adapters that work with most of the current batteries. Further, the same chargers usually do an automatic check to see if the lipo is correctly connected. > There are neither standard balancer connectors nor wiring to those > connectors.

There are mutliple groupings of connectors for "most of the current batteries". Always do your research. >Actually, there are several different standards in use, as well as different >connectors.
