This is the charger i have. I have never charged lipo's before, Can someone suggest a fairly cheap cell balancer that would go good with this charger. Thanks

I have the same charger and I use a common sense rc (name of the company /supplier), ultra balancer PART# UB-26.
The one thing I will note is that the molex pin connector onj the balancer does not have a fail safe for plugging in your battery. In other words, you will fry this thing if you do not make sure that the black ground wire is in pin #1. I had a battery that came with the wires backwards and because I assumed that the orientation was correct without checking. The little sucker fried in about 1/2 second!!![&o]

I have a Hyperion LBA6 and LBA10 (newer). Both work very well, and offer great peace of mind. They will work with practically any non-balancer type lipo charger...

I am charging a 2150 mah battery for the first time .This might be a stupd question, but on the Multiplex multlcharger i have it does not say i the instrution book how i will know when the battery is done charging ?

great planes equinox would work fine with that charger. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXMGS7&P=ML

Many loud beeps, you'll definitely know when its done

Thanks, It only took about 20 mins to charge , is that the right amount of time it should take to charge ?

My 2200MaH lipos take 60-80 minutes to charge (1720MaH worth of charge). at 2.2A.

20 minutes is normally too quick. It may have been partially charged already.

The maximum charge current for your 2150MaH battery would be 2.15A.

I have the Equinox which seems to do the job.

thanks guys, i don't know much , but i am learning fast. I almost killed myself[X(] at the dinning room table today i fired the motor up on the table. ( thats a another story )

It was the first charge, the batttery was brand new. I it tested it before i charge it, it had some charge. I guess thats why it only took 20 min. Thanks again.

My LHS had one of those equinox chargers, so i picked it up. It comes with a 2S and 3S adapter, unfortunately my battery has the small form factor 3S ballance plug, the equinox comes with the larger kind.

Anyone know where i can get the smaller type to adapt to my battery? I am going to go check out apex's website, and maybe tower.

Thanks,
Pete
