How do you connect the stock battery connector back onto the mainboard?

[simon1]

I recently purchased a 130x from someone on here which came with a jst connector soldered onto the mainboard, and came with lipos with jst connectors on too. I would like a parallel charge lead to charge at least 6 lipos at once but Ive been unable to find a jst 2s parallel charge lead with a balance lead on it.

SO i thought about putting the stock eflight micro connector back on the mainboard, but havnt a clue how it goes back on, do i need to solder it? crimp it on? There are plenty of parallel charge leads with the stock connector attached and a balance lead so just thought this would be easier.

You will need to solder if you want the original connector back on, not a huge job and you will need to shrink tube the join after, butbthen you will also need to do the same with the lipos,
Have the lipos got their own balance lead? If so you can balance charge thru them alone with the correct board from here...

Then put the elite connector on the heli and elite connecters on Lipo,
And fast lad sell the connecters,
Or
Leave the just connecters and get a just parallel charge harness then balance individually every 5th cycle?

Hope it helps.

Do all your batteries have balance leads?

Hi thanks for the info, i wasnt aware of that balance board, so will that plug into the 6s balance port on my charger?

[stevek32]

Yep sure will.

Well the balance board arrived yesterday in the post, the balance connectors on the turnigy nano's are too big for the balance board!! So its useless at the min, im going to have to solder the original connector back onto the heli, and write the lipos off i have and get lipos with the umx style connectors on.
Has anyone soldered these little connectors? or can point me to a vid on how to solder them, iv never done them before and cant found nothing on the tube.

You need these

Cut the balance plug off your turnigy lipos and solder the matching wires to those plugs, then they will plug right into the 130x and the balance board,
Makes life so much easier as you charge thru balance lead and run heli thru same connector, and as your only joining the wires saves all the fidly soldering to umx pins...

Oh and when you connect each wire from lip to umx plug do 1 at a time to avoid any shorts, and you can't mix up the wires either,
