Yeah, that should just be a 6S balancer plug, right?

This is what you are looking for, correct:

Ahh...ok....I thought you just needed the cable.

From this pic on the HobbyPartz website, it looks like it uses a JST/XH balancer board (which, IIRC is the same as Align):

EDIT: As a note, the battery balance connector uses an Align/JST-XH type connector. So that (HX) should be your connector type on your charger, the battery end is whatever battery balance connector you have.....

I have the Hitec X4 and all I do is plug the battery right into the charger. I don't even bother with those boards that came with it. Negative to the far right and it balances them fine. The AC6 has built in balancing so it should work for you that way. I just had to trim a bit off my balance plug on the battery for it to fit correct.

Keep in mind, you are wearing out the connection.
If you wear out a balance board, it's cheap to replace.
If you wear out/damage the charger port, it's a lot harder to fix.

Yep, some batteries will plug straight into the charger....however, some will not.
