Charging 2 x 2 cell saddle lipo's
Greetings,
I have raced 1/10th scale for a few years now and have a few saddle packs that I also wish to use with my new DEX408. Is it okay to charge the saddle packs separately or do the two saddle packs (4 cells) have to be charged at the same time for balancing? I dont have a cable for balancing 4 cells so I'm wondering if charging separately will have a negative effect. I dont want cause any damage to my precious lipos. Thanks in advance folks.

Best To Balance together if possible!

How do you balance 2 x packs at the same time with just one balance lead?? 4 cell in one pack yes as the balance lead goes to each cell but how do you balance 2 x separate packs ?

had a quick nose on the wrongo website and see its side by side 2s, tbh if your doing what i think, (please clarify) but i guess you gonna stick a set of saddle packs in each battery tray, if this is the case you will need to charge the saddle pack (as a 7.4v 2s) separately so you can balance them as normal, just be aware of your wiring, you will need to wire them as a 7.4 pack but then link them to get 14.8v.
An excellent economical way of not having to buy more batteries, but just be wary of rushing whilst trackside changing batteries!!

Wouldn't it be easier / quicker to balance charge them together in pairs as 4s with one of these cables:
http://www.rctechnics.eu/splitter-ad...ml?language=en I guess you would need to charge them separately first time then once you've used them in series as 4s once then you should be ok to charge as above? I'm not sure about all this, but that's what I was planning to do, please let me know if I'm about to set fire to my garage!

Morning
This is the charge lead I was planning to use to charge 2 x 2s batteries as 4s. Its using a combination of the 2x2S to 4S JST XH adapter cable and the cables which came with my 2 x 2s nanotech batteries. Can anyone tell me if I've wired it up correctly before I give it a try? Thanks!
