|  Charging lipos without a balance cable with THUNDER AC3 Charger Possible?
Can it be done? I get the Connection Break on battery check. I have some 2s 20c Dynamite 180mah batteries without balance cables for my micro. |

Pretty much any LiPO charger can do "just a charge", although a balance charge is preferred. Some of the small packs have a balancer built in. Double check your adaptor between the charger & the pack. |

I have this charger & every once in awhile I see this as well. I simply disconnect battery from charger, reconnect & then hold down the start button. This usually works. I do not use the built-in balancer & instead use a Blinky + adaptor on all of my batteries.

Hmm What is this adapter you speak of? I am just trying to go from the charger to a banana plugs to microdean connector.

I wiggled the connection around enough to get one to read low voltage, then charged it a bit in nimh mode to get it up and then charged on lipo mode. The other one wont connect despite lots of connector adjustment. I got them in the for sale section so they might just be junk...
