MCPX multi charging lead?

[Paulig]

Where can i buy one? I have a lot of battery's and it takes too long to charge six individually. Using stock charger too.
Any link to one?

Cheapest is from HobbyKing UK warehouse but Postage is a lot for just 1 thing i think

Works out about £1.20 without postage but worth it if your odering anything else from there

HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : 2 Pin JST to 6 x E-Flight Ultra Micro plug Charging Harness (UK Warehouse)
a quicky look on google and they are about £5 else where

Stock charger is also 700mah (0.7A) if I remember correctly

running 6 stock batteries would work out to be 1.2A or 6 Turnigy 300mah cells you would need 1.8A but these all could take a lot higher A

It would still take a fair bit of time because the stock 200mah batteries are charged at 700mah which makes charging faster

Thanks for the link.
I did a bit of trawling and found this in the UK.
Mini Aviation Mini Aviation JMicro UM Battery 6 Cell Charge Adapter - MA_adap
Would this be ok?
I can use this on My Bantam B6 charger.

No you cant use that one, thats for the micro lipos used in msr and micro planes

I didnt relaise you had a B6

you can get a lead that will allow you to balance charge these as a 6 cell but I use a standard series lead because I use all the batteries on a timer so I know they are all discharged to a similar level

What about this?
Charging harness for MCP-X Battteries 6 Way :: Battery / Charging...

That one will do

the one i got from Midlands is out of stock

[miniadventure]

What about this?
Charging*harness*for*MCP-X*Battteries*6*Way :: Battery*/*Charging...

That one will do the job

It is a balancing lead as well so it will ensure all 6 cells charge up to 4.2V even if the batteries are unevenly discharged. I have not got this lead but I imagine you will set your charger to 6s and what ever Amp you decide depending on your batteries. With this lead you can also charge batteries that are not the same mah capacity (I would check though)

Thanks for the help guys.
I have different batteries - 3x 300mah and 3x 450mah. Do they have to be charged seperatley and not mixed?

You can't mix different capacities if you charge in series. The lead mentioned in posts above (Charging harness for MCP-X Battteries 6 Way :: Battery / Charging...) is series lead, so, charge them separately.

Here is a paralell one

4mm – 6 x PHR2 (MCPX) Parallel « ElectriFlyer

would that one be able to charge all 6 (3 x 300mah 3 x 450mah)
