If you still have the Cellpro 10S, try charging your 10S pack with that. If it works, you either have a bad 10XP or have the wrong settings. If you're using the Cellpro boards, you should be using the default FMA settings for wiring. I know for certain that the boards work with both Thunderpower and Zippy packs which are both wired the same and just have a different plug. I read the manual from the FMA site about different wiring configurations for balance taps and found it confusing at best. If you're using TP or Zippy packs and FMA boards, the default settings for wiring configurations should be fine. Beyond that, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to offer much help. There's a lot of info about XH configurations on Pg 13 of their manual which might make sense to you if you have a different configuration. I never liked the balance boards and stopped using mine a long time ago. I have a 12" TP extension and modified the male end to fit into where the balance boards normally attach. From there, I either attach a TP balance tap directly or use a short adaptor from HK to attach a Zippy pack. The Zippy adapter doesn't change the orientation of the wires which is why I'm confused when FMA says that JST-XH is different. Stick with the default FMA setting and you should be fine.

Verne, thanks for your response. I've run the Cellpro 10S for the last 3 seasons so I'm familiar with the basics of both units. Prior to and after your suggestions, I tried everything again and the same error message appeared. BTW, this is the second 10XP unit I've had in the last 3 weeks. The first one gave the same error message and completely shut down while I was charging 5s packs x2 at 2c. It had to be sent back and was replaced under warranty. So, as you can imagine, this does not make me feel very good. At least my Cellpro 10S unit allowed you to continue to charge using the balancing boards only if you had to. The main reasons I decided to upgrade to the 10XP unit was flexilibilty, increased charging options and increased capacity over the older technology of the 10S unit. If I can overcome this glitch I stand to gain alot in overall performance due to the weight savings of 8-9 ounces in battery weight. I'm open to more suggestions and encourage others to join in this discussion. Thanks again, Everette
