Retrofit balancing leads to old Lipo pack?
I have 1500 mah 3s Lipo pack that won't take on its full capacity. It will only take on about 800-900 mah when I charge with a Triton. The pack does get to around 12.3 volts. I took off the shrink wrap and was very careful not to cross connect any terminals while I checked the voltage of each cell in the pack with a voltmeter. Each cell after charging tested almost the same, about 4 volts give or take 0.1 volts. Since the pack is probably on its last leg I was going to just try to wire it up for balancing with my Equinox balancer just as an exercise.
The question is there are 6 terminals amongst the 3 cells but only 4 wires that go to the plug into the balancer. I guess they all share the same ground?

We have a Charging/Wiring Balancing Diagram available under our Battery Education Section under Resources.
