The 150x cells use a 2s JST-Xh connector. You can use any JST-Xh 2s balance port configured to charge through the balance connector.

This is an example of one made up. You would need to replace the balance connector that goes into the charger with an FMA pigtail. Or plug it into an FMA balance board, or the MPA.

If you already have a parallel board with a 2s connector, you can make a jumper between the main leads and the two outside leads of the balance connector. It should be fused.

IR readings are going to be way off with this type of cell because of the way its wired. If the jumper is fused on only one lead and not both one cell is going show IR values much higher than the other. Disregard the IR values. Its unavoidable. Don't worry about it.
