How To Add A Balance Plug To A Lipo Battery
If you get a battery without a balance plug, here's how I added one:

If your soldering skills are minimal, you may want to have someone do this for you. Also be warned that you MUST handle Lipos with care, being extra careful to avoid shorting any terminal on the Lipo.

RE: How To Add A Balance Plug To A Lipo Battery
Thanks for the how-to.
I have been pondering this modification to a couple of E-Flite lipos I own. I have an 1100 3s and a 2100 3s from E-Flite and neither of them have a balance tap. Both of them have some sort of protection circuitry under the covering. Is it even necessary to add taps to these or does the circuitry actually keep them balanced? Thanks.
