Balancing a LRP 5300 40c lipo
 

Just got myself an LRP 5300 40c stick pack lipo :thumbsup:

Its the 1st time I tried to charge it tonight on my E Station Bantam BC6 charger.

I`ve got the Trakpower charging / balancing lead because I was using Trakpower 4900.

Trying to use this lead for the new lipo the very small balancing does not it in properly at all, I can just get 1mm in.

1. Would this still balance properly using it like this ?
2. Is there a way round this ?

Many Thanks Brett

Is it this one?

it`ll be fine mate.mine only goes in a little way but works ok....

ps,how dare you sell waw just as ive stared playing it...

Hi Pete, yup thats the one.

The Charging leads i`ve got are the :

I know what you mean, I have the same problem as you guys :(

Have any clever Ooplers worked out a way to get round this.

Don`t suppose something is available to buy to fit it the balancing port ?

I`ve seen 2mm replacement connectors / corally's for sale on ebay etc.

But i`m sure these will be the same as what i`ve got on the Trakpower lead.

A lead is available that changes reduces the diameter of the center balancing pin. unfortunately the 2mm gold connector diameter is not consistent throughout the world!
The adaptor lead is TP2MMADT

Many Thanks Mac,

Put that product code into Google and I can`t find anything and not on Trakpowers Website as far as I can tell.

Just want trying to find out where I can buy one from and cost.

Cheers Brett

Price rrp £2.49
Shops should have it shortly

Do you actually need to use the balance port on the battery? Can't you just use the standard 4mm +/- ports like batteries without the seperate port use?

My balance adaptor just plugs into the main leads like in the pic below

The problem is with a stick pack not a saddle pack which does not have this problem.

Doh! Sorry... :blush:

Garry you just made me spray coffee all over my desk at work :p
