Default Powerbox Sensor Switch setup

When using the Power box sensor switch (or digi switch) with Lipo, do the batteries have to be disconected for charging?

Can i fit charge jacks by using "y" leads, or dual output leads on the battery?
Will this damage the switch?

I have not tried it on the Sensor switch from PowerBox but I have on the Gemini in my helicopters.

I just plugged a Y lead in so that I can charge with the batteries always connected to the switch as the installation was very tight. Its also a good way to check the remaining power with a battery checker.

When I looked at doing it a few years back I emailed PowerBox in Germany and asked them the question just to check.

Might just be worth a quick email to double check!

They are very quick at responding.

I charge all my planes thru the balancer connector (all using LiPo's). Some of the planes uses the digi switch, some uses Weatronic receivers (both 2.4 and 35 MHz), one plane is with a powerbox Royal, I have had 0 problems on all!
