Default RE: Cellpro 10 balancing adapter warning


ORIGINAL: KeithB

This weekend I ruined a $550 battery due to a simple mistake when using the Cellpro 10 with a Thunder Power 10s Extreme. I felt compelled to share this experiance to help others avoid this easy to make, but costly mistake. This post is not a slam of the Cellpro because otherwise I've been extremely happy with the charger, however, I do feel strongly that the design of the balancing adapter should either have one plug for 5s/4s, or some other method to help avoid this. Certinally having the plugs right next to each other is a bad idea.

Note, in my case I was using the Thunder Power adapter, but looking at the other adapter sockets I believe this could happen with other brands of batteries as well.


The attached image details the problem.



I don't use the FMA adapters. With a little shaping the TP extensions fit the CellPro. Get out your knife and give it a try.
