        Hi All I made up a lead in parellel and found it over charged some cells and under charged other, you had to leave all the batts to get to the same voltage. I then basicly made a lead up using a 5 s balance plug and a pair of jacks. It charged the cells as a 5 cell pack so in balance mode it brings each cell up to 4.2 volts. on my 208B I noticed with the 5 cells attached it would only show 200 mah ish when it charges all 5 to full so it must put this in each cell and does not show the total for the whole pack. So from this i worked out even with 5 cells only set the charger for max .7A as this is the charge load per cell not per pack Cheers Jason

            i have noticed when using my multiple lead to charge mcpx batteries,that the total amperage put in at the end of the charge seems to be less than i would expect

              This is the gizmo you need, no balance leads required just an output to suit the number of cells up to six @ 0.6 amps per.Astroid Designs — 6 Port Parallel Charge Board for the Blade MCPx

                I made a balance charge lead to use with my cellpro 4s. The details are here: http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/e-flit...tml#post738276

                The manual mentioned in the post covers the 10s balance connectors. http://www.revolectrix.com/support_docs/item_1265.pdf

                  To charge mine with a 10s I use these Blade mcpx mcp x - Charging Cable for 3 batteries, requires 3S balance charger | eBay I have two so can charge six batteries at a time.

                  You will need something like this for a 10s as you can't charge just through the out put leads only and many of the leads charge as a parallel pack but this one charges as a 3s pack.

                  Didn't buy mine form this seller but was all I could find so people know what to look for.

                  Got mine from this seller and can recommend the service. Belt CP Version 2, Honey Bee King 3 items in Kooltoyz store on eBay! He has none on at the moment but may be worth sending a message.
