| What Lipo balance adapter do I need?
I was just given a Losi 5000mah 2 cell race pack. Only problem is that I have an Electrifly Triton EQ charger and the balance plug doesn't fit either of my boards. One board is for Electifly and the other for Flightpower/Thunderpower. If someone could point me to the adapter I need, I would greatly appreciate it! Hopefully someone like Holmes carries it cuz I need a few other things as well! Heck, even Hobbyking would be fine since I need to order some batteries as well. Thanks.

Pick up an Astro Blinky and a Thunder Power adapter and you'll never need another balancer...ever The Blinky fits almost every balance tap out there and the Thunder Power adapter will work on your Losi pack. I've had mine for 2.5 years and I'll never use another balancer. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXMRZ9&P=ML http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXPUP3&P=ML |

I'm not sure which connector Losi uses , but you have 2 out of 4 already. If losi uses EH then buy that one for the EQ. If it uses HP then get that one. One thing that doesn't make sense is that the xh,eh,hp all use the same pin spacing. TP uses the narrower pin spacing. A couple of pics I viewed look like they use XH taps , but that is one of the two that come with the T-EQ. Last edited by floogldood; 09-13-2009 at 02:57 PM. |

Sounds like you may need a different board anyway, so spend the cash on a Blinky insted, and you'll never need to worry about whether or not a pack/tap will work with one of your balance boards. The Blinky works independently from the charger...a lot less hassle Last edited by CreepyCrawl; 09-13-2009 at 08:49 PM. | |

His charger has a built in balancer. The board he speaks of is just a break out board that allows you to balance less than 6 cells at atime. The balance port on the charger is for 6-cell packs, and needs a break-out so you can plug in smaller packs. The breakout itself cannot balance a pack. HOwever, I am sorry, but I do not know what adaptro you need. It's easy to make your own though. You just need a bit of bread board, and two sets of pins for it (1 input, 1 output). Then it will fit any pack, just like the astro blinky. |
