That's what's great about the Hyperion chargers. One charger with a built in balancer and just get the four different adapter boards to cover the four different balance taps out there.

Most certainly.

I use the hyperion dongle for every pack except TP type. You can use the 4s slot and align any .1" spaced tap to the negative side. Works like a charm. Not the intended use, but saves space in my travel kit.

I still need some different adapters. I am using the Hyperion as my main charger.

There are two standards, .1" (2.54mm) and 2mm spacing. If you are clever two adapters will work for every battery under the sun.

No problem! Just poke around a bit. A hint- hit the mode button while charging for extra features.

Read thru this thread and I will be going with the 606I also...

So all I need are 4mm banaplugs for the output?

We supply supply the battery charge leads and you can even pick what main battery connector you want installed on them.
