Lipo balance charger help!!
 
Hi we have just bought a Tamco AB450D balance charger and want to know how to hook the sensor lead from the battery? This is the jack on the side of the charger..... do I need another lead or adapter between the two?

Think your needing a balance board to plug in first which will have ports on them like this........

Yeah thanks for that its begining to make sense now, its a bit of a nightmare when your starting all over again with new equipment!

So now I understand that the balance board is actually just an adaptor for your different battery styles to hook up, the next problem seems to be sourcing an actual tamco balance board which I'm struggling to find. any ideas?

Things are looking up, contacted Tamco and it turns out the first batch of chargers were short packed and missing the balance board. Can't argue with customer service as I had a reply within minutes informing me of this and requesting an address to get the missing components out to me!:thumbsup:

With my charger I skipped the balance board as I only charge 2 cells
I kept the 3 wires to the left and soldered on my own stuff
You will have to check what 3 wires you need but on most chargers I hvae done this for at the club it is the 3 on the right
or 2 on the right and the last one usually red
