Powerlab 6 and balance boards..

[acwman]

Looking to purchase a Powerlab 6 to go with my new power supply, but was wondering which balance board I would need to do parallel charging. The lipos I have are the Turnigy, so I guess these are the JST-XH type.

Looking at the FL website, I cannot see any balance boards labelled as for the powerlab 6. Are they the same ones they use for the PL8?

A link to what I require would be grateful!

...on the subject of the PL6 anyone know where I could get it any cheaper!??

i use this for parallel charging on the pl8,only 6s batteries but it is capable of charging 6-8s batteries if the need arises,then of course you need the pl8

Love to know how you do 7 and 8s charging on the boards,maybe busterboy will tell us if he reads this

The safe parallel board that is used for a single pack has balance connectors for 2S upto 6S packs. So it can't do 7S or 8S packs.

The multi parallel board on the other hand has balance connectors for 2S upto 8S packs.

I got a PL8 today from Heliguy. £199 (only £35 more than a PL6)

No vinny. There are two safe parallel boards for use with the PLx charger; one is for a single pack but can be daisy chained that can only do 2S to 6S, then there is the board you linked to that can do 2S to 8S.
