How hard is it to find connectors for a 2x 2s-4s balance adapter?!?!??
 

I need a source to get jst/xh male and female plugs. 3-pin and 5-pin. Where the hell are they at? I've looked all night and talked to owners of multiple online stores... nothing. Any help?

I want to split a 4s lipo and get balance plugs for the 2 2s packs then make an adapter so I can balance them together.

There's a 2x 3s-6s adapter on hobbycity, but if I buy that I'll end up placing a $50.:no:

HELP!:whip:

i've been looking for the same thing. good luck. i searched around for a while with no luck.

I bought alot of these off ebay. Balance connectors for 2s, 3s and 4s.

I recently ordered 20 3pin 2S lipo balance connectors for like less than $4 (plus shipping)?

Just search "lipo balance connector" or simply "lipo balance" at Ebay.

i just make them...

I've made a 2p board - Wired together 2 of the 2-6s boards so that you can connect up any parallel pair.

Also made a couple of 2 x 2s = 4s adapters.

All you need to to buy is 2 female 2s XH and 1 male 4s XH...

Can't see any 2s xh females around...

2 x AL-PQ-2S + TP-AL-4S would work when spliced togther

Try here, they have extensions and adapters. http://www.rcaccessory.com/index.asp...TS&Category=57

Get the connectors and pins from digikey. Not expensive, but they do have a minimum order qty of 10 and would require a cheap crimper to make the connections to the wires.

3 position plug 455-2219-ND
5 position plug 455-2268-ND
3 position socket 455-2231-ND
5 position socket 455-2270-ND
Pins x 100 455-1135-1-ND

Male (pack side) XH on this page : http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/mai...ctors&scat=ALN

Looks like they may carry the female connectors as well, give them a call or drop them an email... They have always treated me well, this is where I get all of my pack building supplies.

I got mine from eBay. You can get 10 of each for under 15 shipped.

Or look at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/RC-lipo-battery-...%3A1|294%3A200

I emailed them,, they said the didn't carry them. Asked if they could make the adapter for me,,, didn't respond. :neutral:

I like the ebay links, I searched for jst-xh 2.5mm and came up with nothing,, guess I had to be less specific.

Thanks for all your help guys! If you find a better deal or an easier place to get them let me know.

maybe this is what you are talking about?

That's exactly what I need, although it's a little spendy... $15 shipped..

I'll see if I can get mike to start carrying this.

One go around the block with adapters, charger plugs,differring cell counts and differing taps forced me to look for only one particular adapter. When that failed the second go around the block forced me to get many cheap wires,adapters,boards so that I can do nearly anything I want from now on.

The balance boards really are nice since that eliminates the cell count from the problem and there are only 4 different taps.

Here's what I did in a nutshell:

establish your max cell count.
find charger to match cell count and get adapters to all boards that fits said charger.
Any battery pack up to max cell count can be done on said set-up.

It may not be quite that simple as it sounds, the charger's or balancer's plug and number of pins is a lot of times what is difficult. Identification is half the battle.

I kinda like balancers like the Blinky or CommonSenseRC style; they just have pins that are spaced the same as everything other than TP, so it doesn't matter connector is used. For my LBA10, I made an adaptor with a pinned connector at the other end.

Is there any adapter that is available in the States (or Cananada) to allow me to charge two 3s Hyperion packs on the 720i? I know it's the same overall time to charge them individually vs. as one 6s pack... but for ease of use.

I know you can get one from Hobbycity, but it's in China.

If you find a place, post it. Everywhere I look doesn't seem to have exactly what I'm looking for (or they don't have clear pics so I can see for myself). I usually end up piecing stuff together from various places, which makes shipping costs kinda high.

I emailed mike but I haven't heard back yet. If it came down to it just get two boards or adapters with the plugs you need on them and re-solder it up. It won't be too cheap though...

Is there a market for them? If so I'll start making them...

Parts will cost me about $10 for a 2/3s to 4/6s harness - Hyperion only

I can do 2p adapters 2-6s for hyperion chargers XH, EH, TP for about $15

+ a bit for time and shipping

What we need is a standard jst-XH plug on the adapters. Do hyperion taps fit that? I think $5 shipped in an envelope is perfect. If mike could get them in the store the plugs are really cheap, but you have to buy in bulk.

How would parts cost you $10 for one adapter? Or is it $10 a batch?

Why doesn't someone make them, and.... YES, great idea Arct1k!

Serious, I would pay ya $15 for an adapter, just throw er in an envee. and be gone. If you have enough demand on this forum, just do them all at once and then ship them all at once... to make 'some' ecological sense.

If a few ppl are interested post up what you want and i'll see what i can do...

4s and above hyperion are same as xh

This one costs $15 shipped from ebay.

Ths one's from hobbycity

That's what we need.

hobbycity now has a huge stock of balance taps

Just looked through there and found a 20cm 2s jst-XH extension. If I get two, I can use the two males as plugs for the pack I'm splitting; then I can use the two females and the male 4s from the pack I already have and make the adapter.

I think I'll get some extra plugs and I can sell them to people that need them. The 3-6s and 2-4s adapters. Let me know if you want one, pm me for price.
