Thanks for your help guys! Had a play around tonight and managed to link the 2s LiPo balance connector from my cells directly into the balance board port of my charger (the orion advantage touch, so only has a 7 pin connector in to the side of the charger). Just removed the 4 unnecessary wires from the 7 pin balance board connector and re-soldered the 2s LiPo connector from the balance board onto the 3 remaining wires. Now I have a link cable connecting my LiPo balance lead and my charger. I have probably made that sound pretty complicated but its a pretty simple solution and looks pretty neat and LiPos fit in charging bag nice and easy! Will try and get some pictures uploaded this weekend.

In the case of balancing the cells each charge, in fairly new to using LiPos as things changed dramatically in the time I was out of the sport. Are they pretty reliable things that don't need balance charging all the time? Heard stories of people's cells puffing up because their aren't balanced so try and balance every charge. Not having to balance trackside would make things easier!

Thanks again guys
