Default RE: using a lipo in the DX7

I charge my LiPo's outside the TX.

Gorish

I'm still confused as to what you are looking for?

I've used these on my JR/Spektrum TX's.

As you can see in the picture it comes with a standard white balance port, and a standard RX/servo type connector.

I made the RX/Servo connector into the plug needed for my JR/Spektrums using the plug from an old battery.

As I mentioned in the prior post, about being better off with LiFe batteries... LiFe batteries can be had with the correct JR/Spektrum connectors already installed...

In both cases the white balance connector is used to charge the pack.

If your charger does not have a balance connector you can use one of these with any charger...

Which come with a set of these as part of the package :

Am I missing something?
