If you want to balance it you need another little box, half the footprint of a business card. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out what type of balance connector jetcat uses so I just use regular servo type connectors, in this case with 4 terminals.

The box will also supply current on 2 each 12v busses to charge receiver batteries, but you need a battery with a built in charger (powerbox). I have them but have not flown them. These batteries are LiPo so relatively light even with the charger built in and relatively safe from fires and such as you cant hook them up wrong.

The best part of the P-180NX is the beautiful smooth brushless starter. With magnetic coupling tot he turbine core, very clever.
