I just purchased 2 TBM Li-ion 2600 mah batteries. These are alittle different than the ones I purchased in the past from them....There are 3 leads coming out of the battery. One Deans, one JR/Hitec and one small white balance plug. The instructions from TBM says in bold letters " Charging must only be done through the balance lead". Well, I dont have any way to use the white balance lead with my Trition or my Accu-cycle. Can I still charge through the deans or the JR plug? If not, whats the best way to charge these batteries?
Thanks

Well the "best way" of dealing with lithium batteries is by balance charging them.

In your case though, the cheapest way would be to get a blinky and balance them before or after charging, preferably before.

Barracudahockey,

Yes, I do have a Blinky and have used it in the past....But on this white balance tab on the TBM battery, the pins will not line up to plug the Blinky into it. They seem to be off just alittle.
Thanks
