I recently purchased an Orion IQ605 charger but it came with no balance lead. I'm using LRP saddle packs and they came with a bridging wire with a 2mm socket attached.

I realised I needed a balance charge lead and as I'm using Corally/Banana connectors I ordered one of these: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/logic-rc-balance-lead-jst-eh-2s-gold/rc-car-products/32574

Unfortunately the white block doesn't seem to fit into the female connection on the charger very well. Are there different types?

Just the one type of standardised plug as far as I'm aware,but it will only go in the one way,usually with the two protruding lines to the top.

After further investigation it seems there are 2 types:

JST-EH - which is the one I bought and JST-XH which I should have bought:(

Serves me right for just searching for '2S balance lead' and purchasing the only one it displayed.....
