Trakpower Balancer/Pulsar 3 ?

[Rich D]

Hi guys

I wish to use my Pulsar 3 in conjunction with a Trakpower Balancer so i have two complete charging systems for Worksop. I have programmed charge profile 2 for Lipo use charging at 4.9A / 7.4V for my 4900 2 cell Trakpower lipo

I have wired it up as below



The charger says "done" if i attempt to "peak" as above, yet if i connect it minus the balancer, it takes charge ?

Im also confused as to what the two top wires are for ? ( red/black top right in picture ). They dont seem to do anything whatsoever.
These mystery leads have been wired in parallel with the balance lead on my second Trakpower balancer of the same model ? I did however purchase the pictured balancer new, and my first balancer second hand.
The Lipo pack im testing has been fully charged, i just assumed that i must be doing something wrong for it to take charge from the Pulsar when not used with the balancer.

Any ideas guys ? I cant get the Pulsar to work on discharge either when wired as above OR when using the two "mystery" red/black leads.

Thanks !

Just tested with my second balancer, its working. Do i have to alter the wiring as pictured above ?

Yes, as per 2nd picture.

Just realised that they are plugged in - not soldered. With all the talk of different leads i got confused

Problem sorted
