Try one of these: http://www.maxamps.com/MA-Method-Balancer.htm and with the use of the Hyperion adapter boards you can balance just about any Li-Po pack out there right now. The adapter boards can be seen here: http://www.maxamps.com/products.php?cat=34 .

Enjoy!!

Still the same choice. When it comes to chargers and balancer don't skimp. it'll cost you more in the end.

Best regards,

why not a Hyperion balancer
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/18801

I don't see the 5i dp anywhere
I take it that is doesn't include blancing feature like the Hyperion HP-EOS610I

The 5i was discontinued a little over a year ago and with the current trend the Hyperion LBA-10 will most likely go as well. Not to mention it can be a bear to deal with it and it's mode button. That's the reason we no longer sell the LBA-10 to many set-up issues with it.

Default RE: i need a lipo balancer

Plug your 2 - 5 cell lithium battery pack into the balancer (using the supplied adapters for 2, 3, and 4 cell packs) and the unit immediately detects cell imbalance and starts a low-current (300ma) discharge of cells with higher voltages until they are within .01V of cells with lower voltages. LEDs on the unit flash to indicate which cells are out-of-balance and being discharged. When the LEDs stop flashing, the pack has been balanced.

The unit will also balance while charging and protect your cells from overcharge. Follow the above procedure, but then plug the balancer into your charger and begin the charge cycle. The unit will balance the cells as the pack is charged. If any cell becomes overcharged (reaching 4.30V), the unit will automatically terminate the charging, but continue to balance the pack. When the balancing is complete, simply charge the pack at a low current setting (0.5 amps or less) to recondition the battery.

Default RE: i need a lipo balancer

Is that pretty much the same way to use the Losi Lipo Balancer too? I got one used without instructions also. can I charge the pack through the Deans and have the balancer doing its thing on the mini connector at the same time?
