I want to know which balance tap you guys use. I am making adapters and I need to know what the popular choices are.

4 popular ones, Kokam.
I don't like HP since it uses the same plug for 2-4s. I don't like TP , cuz it is smaller spacing and odd-ball (and no 6S single plug) compared to the rest (they work fine though) XH is more popular than EH , so XH gets my vote every time if I have a choice. I might as well compain about something else , that is using the term JST (can describe more than one connector)
Many of them can be interchangable depending upon the cell count and config.

The only reason I mention the thunder power is because they are starting to put out more hard cased lipos. I actually have all 3 styles.

When their new Flightpower EON-X packs come out they'll be really nice too. They'll compete with the hyperion G3 packs.
And IMO, JST/XH should be made the standard lipo balance plug. It's got logical plug assignments; ground, cell 1, cell 2 etc. The plug has no size or shape problems, it's not to big or too small. It's already very popular too.
Is JST/EH the same as.. kokam? Never heard of it before... All I know is that JST stands for "japan solderless terminals" or something along those lines.[8D]
