PLEASE HELP! ac lipo charger connection
hey... i just bought an ac lipo charger and i now realize that it doesn't balance my batteries while they are charging... i think i'm willing to accept that considering the 'el cheapo' charger that parkzone gave me with my corsair and t28 have balancers with them... long story short i'll use it every couple of chargers to make sure i'm getting an even spread...
however!
i really cant figure out how to connect the dynamite charger i bought to my 3s lipos... the batteries all have balancing charge leads and ec3 discharger leads...
this is the link to the charger [link]http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=DYN4060[/link]
and i found this connecter [link]http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLAEC312[/link] but from what i understand that would mean charging the battery through the discharge lead which is a big 'no-no'...
i have no idea what to do after searching for about a week now for help... please help me out if you can...

That charger only charges through the power leads. Just balance the LIPO on the balance charger every few charges.
If you want to balance while using the Dynamite charger get a balancer like the Equinox Balancer and hook it between the charger and battery on the balance taps. I use one on my DTX ICE and it works great.
