you will need to get a pb6 to flight power balancer adapter board. flight power uses a different balance plug so i guess you could always not balance or order the adapter . or third buy the correct plug with pig tail wires and solder to the battery and cut of the origional fp balance plug make sure either cut one wire at a time.

Contact Flightpower, they show how to do it on their web site with the V Balancer.

I have 2 pb6 but how do i split 3 plugs between two balancers , if a plug maintains 4 cels each then 2 plugs equals 8 =cells which is too big for one pb6

Go to the FP site, http://www.flightpower.co.uk/index.a...vbalh%20fpvcla

Thanks a lot looks like ive got some soldering to do, why do flight power not just use 2 times 6s balancing plug?

Then it would be an 11S pack, not 12S.

Ok thanks for your input

Skint Eastwood · 02-13-2009, 06:59 AM

so if you look at this picture you have six wires going from the left hand large plug (from the vb6) to the first plug on the lipo then there are another 3 (one black) 2 going to the next plug on the lipo and 1 bent round to the 2nd large plug on the slave pb6. that makes 9 wires and the output of the pb6 has only 8 I cant see where the bent around wire is connected on the first large plug?

How do these diagrams look

Skint Eastwood · 02-13-2009, 11:33 AM

I am getting totally confused, if anyone can draw me out a diagram as above showing where the actual pins from the two pb6's sockets to the three lipo plugs I would be most gratefull

JEEPWORLD2002 · 02-13-2009, 01:41 PM

ok best way to do this is a volt meter and look at the voltage of each wire. so you are gonna need to splice the ground to the black wire on both pb6 conectors. then work your way up 1 will be 4.0v 2 will be 8.0 3 will be 12.0 then when you get to 28.0 that will be your 1 of the second pb6 connector.

teshreve · 02-13-2009, 10:49 PM

This is my guess how it should go, which looks just like your second pic...

teshreve · 02-13-2009, 10:51 PM

...or maybe this one?

teshreve · 02-13-2009, 11:48 PM

The more I think about it, the more I think my second pic is applicable for both.
I have no idea why I am even participating in this as I do not have any 12S packs, a 902 charger, or any v-balancers

Skint Eastwood · 02-14-2009, 01:37 AM

Ok guys, thanks for all your help. I contacted Clint Akins at flightpower usa and he has sorted it for me, including a phone call to me in th UK, GREAT service flightpower!. Anyway he has sent me a diagram and I will post it up sometime today..

For what ist worth here is the wiring diagram for balancing a flightpower 12s lipo using two pb6's

Hi, I have the BC6, what balance board do I need for charging Zippy 6s batts? Web site says they use a JST-XH balance plug. Thanks

I have an Align board, but the number on it doesn't match any of the numbers you show. The number on my board says EAC1213-48. Will this work on Zippy batts?

The board has Align and Kokam written on it with boxes. There should be a colored dot showing what it is for. So, if the dot is in the Align box, then it is for Align.
