Default Charger/Charge Lead Question

Hello All,

My batteries for my old Great Planes RCUbipe foamy have died. I'm looking to replace them with this:

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...2&I=LXNYH9&P=K

Which I believe is the newer version, however the balance connector is different from the simple two pin connector that my old batteries had. If I were trying to charge with a Great Planes Triton JR charger (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...2&I=LXMAH9&P=K), what leads/balance board would I need to get up and running?

I'm a little confused by all the leads/connector types I have found...any help is appreciated.

Thanks a ton

The Triton JR has no provision for balancing , but any balancer or charger with balance capability with XH taps would work. The pack uses XH , sometimes called align.

Do banana to XH harnesses exist? I'm having some trouble finding them and it seems most chargers just have banana plug ports on their outlet terminals..

Yea, that's right. I'm not aware of any pre-made banana to XH. You'd have to make you own probably.

Here you go. Just remove the white back and then the 2 pins are exposed to fit in the balance tap.

This has banana plugs on the charger end, although not shown in the picture.
