Status: offline 		Hi there sorry for the nOOB question, but


I have a Thunder Power 910mA 2-cell (for my Blade CX2 - its supposed to be a good hop-up) and its connector is just like my TP1320 which are 3-cell.


I tried the Common Sense adapter that says its good for Thunder Power 3-cell and 2-cell but I get an error connecting to a 3-Cell charger.

I'm confused because the connector says 3-cell but its a 2-cell pack, and the charger is expecting a 3-cell on that kind of connector.

What is the trick?

Thanks in advance for the quick fix!

Its a Thunder Power 910mAh 2-cell pack. Yes it has a connector just like a 3-cell pack. But, I cannot charge it through the Common Sense Thunder-Power adapter. I get a Charge Error or nothing at all on two different chargers.

What is the trick? Do I need to swap wires on the adapter?

Also, you need to insure the polarity of the pack, before you start swapping wires..

I guess I am the first one to ever need to do this?

I'll figure it out, but I am surprised there is no picture, no drawing, no clue that this has ever been done before... As if the TP910 pack is brand new tech...

I shall boldly go where none have gone before...

Status: offline 		There is no need to engineer your own custom adapter.. However, there is a need to break out the voltmeter, to ensure proper polarity..

Before we do that.. Let me get some answers from you..

It would be a great help if you could tell me what charger you are using..

Also, I am trying to determine which product you have purchased..

These are our 2 items that are for "2 and 3" cell packs..

Did you buy this:

http://www.commonsenserc.com/product_info.php?products_id=268

or this:

http://www.commonsenserc.com/product_info.php?products_id=293

If you bought the first item, I believe you purchased the wrong item.. This is for using Thunder Power packs with our V2 products.. I do not know what charger you purchased..
If you bought the second item, this item is meant to be spliced onto a current pack and used with Thunder Power chargers/balancers..

Thanks
