Heres the battery I got, I have the thunder ac6 charger but the balance port of the batt is to small for the balancer board that came with the thunder ac6 so what i need is someone to tell me where to get a balance board or or whatever i need to make this battery work with my Charger.

heres link to my battery:

You just need an adapter. The thunder AC6 uses JST-XH balance taps that a lot of lipos use. This is what you need for a 2S battery.

Just plug in your balance tap to the adapter and the adapter to the board that came with your charger.

You need a TP or Thunder Power balance board. A lot of different batteries use different balance tabs.

Please do not use without a balancer. You will kill the Lipo..
You need a adapter.
