Charging 130x lipos?

[Rctintin]

Guys, what are you doing to parallel charge 130 lipos?

I have std lipo, 1 Optipower, and 3 Overlanders.

I did not want to cut the plug off the 130, so I bought from FL new male plugs that fit the std connector on the Heli. So all 5 packs now have the correct power connectors on, but I did not realise the Overlanders have the same connector on the balance leads!

So now I have the std lipo, the Opti with a JST, and the Ov'ers with eflight ballance cons!!

I use a PL8 with safe boards, so what's the best option? Change the whole lot to JST's to charge, with the little red plugs for connecting to the Heli?

Why can't the manufactures all stick to the same connectors, bloody pain all this messing around.

Get red jst fitted to the heli and a 6 way charge lead and get a shed load of nano 300 45-90c and throw the rest in the bin

I use a cheapo para board for balancing.

Cheers Nick, have to say that's the way I wanted to do it, but thought about the warranty issue, but don't really care about that as only a cheap Heli anyway!!

Guess I best get the soldering iron back out!!

First thing i did was snip the stock connector then found out my 130 was a dud,i explained it to HH and they replaced the heli no worries.

300 flights on the replacement now.
