Post LiPo Battery 'Balance Plug Saver' Review.

I found this forum while searching for LED controllers (found Al's HeyOkPerformance controller posts) and thought I should return the favour...

Something for LiPo battery users: I came across these recently and thought they were so good for their price that I made a short review video:

"A lithium polymer ('LiPo') battery accessory for 2S, 3S to 6S packs: A small plastic surround that clips over the 'JST -XH' balance plug to give you a more secure area to hold the plug and avoid stress on the small wires going into the connector..."

Cool idea. Nice to see there's an alternative to wrapping them up in heat shrink.

Never had an issue. I've had and have tons of batterys and never felt the need or ripped a balance plug off. Good find I guess for someone who has fatter fingers than I

It's just good to hear an English voice on here! I'll admit though, never had an issue with the plugs ( waits to rip a plug off tomorrow!)

I've used those handles since I first spotted them at HobbyKing.
Love them! They make it soo much easier to get a grip to unplug the balance connector.

You wanna hear something that'll bend your head, put up a video on YouTube so you can hear your own voice. Tripendicular, man.



Say, anybody else carry these besides HobbyKing?
