SERUM! SQUEE! i see u there

Ok..First off, CHILL. You CAN just charge them to like 85% capacity together and then just finish the charge individually with the balancer...Move the pins back were they were and take another picture. You shouldn't have any problems if your using the 2S balancer...

If the wires don't match up the balancer won't work.

cool, squee! get on aim! I think i'll charge them to 90% capacity and just not balence them. but how do you know they are at 90%?

It looks like you got two differ kinds of plugs. I not sure if they will work together or not. hard to tell from pics.

OK nbaz, I understand your pain, but you're gonna have to relax. If you're of drinking age, have a beer to calm down. ;)

Until you understand the wiring, I would charge/balance each battery seperately. It will take longer but will be much simpler.

That balancer looks like a Hyperion LBA6 clone. It's not the exact same, but the connectors sure are. Attached is the LBA6 manual in PDF format. Skip to the diagrams at the end and study them carefully to see how the balancer wires are hooked up. Understanding how it works is key to hooking them up right. There is no magic here, it all makes logical sense when you think about it.

If your pack's balance connector wires do not match up to the balancer, it won't work. You may have to move a wire or two on the balancer adaptor so each wire on your pack goes to the correct wire on the pack connector. You just have to make sure the wires are in the correct order if/when you move them.

OK, take a clear picture of the pack balance connector and post it. I'll whip up a picture for you.

BrianG · 10:45 AM

I looked at some of your other posts and found a picture that was good enough. Look at the attachment. See the pink arrow? Follow that wire to the other side of the connector. There's no matching wire there! Move the wire noted by the pink arrow to the slot denoted by the green line.

EDIT forgot to attach the pic. :dft001:
