Balancing charger question
I have this charger http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=7523 and It only has balancing ports from 3s-8s lipos but I just got a venom 2s 4000mah lipo which obviously it doesnt have a port for. My question is there an adapter I can get to attach to it for a balance port? thanks

RE: Balancing charger question
Try using a balancing/conversion board such as this.

It plugs into a larger slot and you plug into the 2S1P port.
No guarantees, just a suggestion to try.
Good Luck,

RE: Balancing charger question
is there a check on the charger if it could id 2s lipo. It'll be in the manual or any charge/discharge settings you should be able to scroll through how many sells it would do.
I'm not sure if it could id 2s lipo.

RE: Balancing charger question
Sorry for the trouble your having and i've just had a look at your battery charger and it says you MUST have both the discharge an balance plugs plugged in if not you will get the ''CONNECTION BREAK" message,so from what i have read on that you might well be stuck,so rather than lose a good charger i'd buy another battery with a balance lead on it,better for you in the long run mate,sorry i couldn't be more helpful but you could all ways sell the battery to some one you know or even on ebay to try and get some money back.
I'll leave a link for HK batteries.

RE: Balancing charger question
My charger does'nt have the 2s port either, I use an adapter like [link=http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8821__XH_Adapter_Coversion_Board_W_Polyquest_Cha rger_plug.html]this[/link] to balance charge my 2s lipos. Never a problem.
