Balance adapter

[Ritlee]

Ok, I've grown tired searching... I need straight answers, not round about answers...

I just bought a PL6 to replace a fried charger. My original JST-XH balance adapter doesn't fit in to the PL6. I went to the LHS to get a balance adapter, and they sold me one that would work for every balance lead out there... brought it home, and it doesn't fit the PL6, took it back, and ended up getting a refund because they don't carry anything that will fit FMA products.

I went to Helidirect where I bought the PL6 and instead of saying the battery connector, it says the battery type, and then doesn't carry the battery, or doesn't say what balance connector the battery has.

So I just need a simple answer, what balance board (parallel or not capable) will balance JST-XH (Aka Turnigy and Pulse Ultra Batteries) and fit my Power Labs 6.

I'm currently dead in the water without a balance board (brand new never been used batts needing a proper break-in)

Here are some options for you.

Balance board:

Parallel board: will need bat connectors

You will need this cable for the parallel board:

The individual adapter boards connect directly to the charger, as long as you purchased the correct adapter for that charger. The MPA's will also require an interface pigtail for that particular charger. FYI - Only the MPA's require you to change the wiring mode in the charger over to JST-XH. The single adapters use the FMA wiring mode (even for a GP/KO adapter) (default). Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks.
