A comparable but perhaps simpler alternative to charge A123 packs in the plane is to simply purchase the A123 packs with a single 3 wire 20g combo connector, as available at Hangtimes. If you have an FMA CellPro Multi-4 digital fitted with the universal 3 wire A123 pack balance tap to charger cable, simply connect that cable to the pack's single 3 wire 20g combo connector to charge (no need to use the pack's discharge cables). Should the pack's single 3 wire 20g combo connector not be long enough to be easily accessible on or outside the plane, a simple aileron extension connected to it will do.

I've been using this super convenient method (described in the Hangtimes site) with great success.

That is a good setup. I went the other way because all my planes were converted from NiMH and do not have 3 wire switches. Also, all my packs have balance leads and two wire universal connectors.

I use the same setup on all my planes.

I add the 20ga futaba plug to these batts, can't beat the price and I'm on the second season and they just discharged the same as when new.
