Looking for single place for these parts...
 

Since I'm having no luck selling my TP balancer (and I refuse to sell at that thieving ebay place), I decided to make it into a general purpose balancer. But I can't seem to find a single place that has both of the items I need. I hate spending $5 for shipping for a $1 part, times two. Anyway, the following is what I need:

1: Thunderpower 6-pin (5s) balance connector/pigtail that will plug into a Thunderpower balancer. These would be the same connectors as you would find on the battery pack. Would prefer to have wire pigtails already attached.

2: Snappable header pins, like this. Would prefer the right angle style, but straight would be fine too.

TIA!

I'd try cheapbatterypacks.com - they have a pretty good selection of building supplies.

allerc.com

Possibly www.hobbydream.com, but they're on "holiday" until Oct. 6, and the website just says "debugging" at the moment.

Well, the first two didn't have what I was looking for, and not sure about the last one until they come back. Thanks anyway guys!

Just sent an email to TP to see if I can get the pigtails I want direct from them. Anything I've found online would require modification to the connector to work.

How about http://www.rclipos.com/

Well, I got the parts I was looking for. The only place I could get all the TP connectors I wanted was a place I do not want to do business with, so I went directly to TP. Paid a few more cents per cable, but that's ok. And then, I got the headers from allelectronics.com. To make the shipping cost worth it, I got a few extra goodies for future projects.

The whole purpose of this was to make 0.1" spacing balance tap adaptors, but use the TP210 balancer. This balancer has a 450mA balance rate, so balancing is done quicker. And, it seems to be the most accurate at determining actual imbalance.

Here are a few items I got:

And what I made with it:

Made a 6s balance adaptor and a 5s adaptor. I cut little squares out of the PCB, layed the header pins on it, and soldered them. Then it was a simple matter to solder the wires on the PCB as well. The PCB is not needed, but tends to help support/strengthen the pins. Also in the pic is a balance tap break-out board for experimenting, charging/discharging individual cells, etc.

Slick...glad we have an electrical guru around here:yes:

Well It's a little late, but I actually stock those 40 pin headers. We use them to split into 10 pin headers for mounting another board on top of a motherboard we make.
