balance board for bantam bc6 to bionic lipo

[RC944]

anyone know which balance board i need to hook the charger to the following battery:

http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/cml_product.php?menu=rc_info&productId=0000004737

it states a 2mm connector but not much else!

would it be the balance board for TPFP and MRX rather than align / dualsky?

Not much help - but - something like this but with 4mm's instead of deans and then a board twix balance connector & charger ?

Yea - like that, then possibly something BC6 to align for the balance, surprised the battery don't come with a cable.


Possibly like this: http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/cell_connection_board_(align)-p-1560.html



wait until some experts add to this before buying, you don't need to balance every charge

would have been ideal but all bought as seen off the flea bay... would be okay if had decent model shop where i live but alas that would be too easy!

Possibly a cheaper cable option,

but balance connectors are a pain, seem to be a few different types, some with a few different names, some ...........

(I am assuming its the BC6 with the single large balance connector, there are some 'bc6' thingys with separate connectors)

I have the BC6 copy that cml sell, with a ballance board with connections for 6,4,3 and 2 cell batterys, but the flight power batterys ballance conector didnt fit so I had to buy a bantam bord:eh?: BUT the 3cell lipo in my rc plane will not fit the bantam board, but will fit the cml one???? most shops should have a choice of boards and they are not costly, just check that the board to charger conection is wired correctly for the bantam, bit of a bloody fiddle all this:lol:

After all this I use trakpower in my rc cars thus diffrent conections for that as well:confused:

ok just to update i have now potentially sourced a balance board so only the leads remain which i think are also sorted based on the intel on this thread - thanks gents!

Yep just bought a Bantam BC6 myself and got that lead. It means you don't need a stupid balance board getting in the way on the pit table. I got mine from here as it was cheap even with postage:
