Default Thunder Power battery balance plug question.

On all of my existing Lipo batteries I can use my Astro Blinky balancer to balance the packs. However, I picked up my first Thunder Power Lipo the other day and the balance plug on this pack is different from my others. Not only will it not plug into my Astro Blinky balancer, it will not work with my Hyperion balance board either. Is there some kind of adapter I can purchase to balance with this type of plug?

Try here http://www.rcaccessory.com/lipobalan...nadapters.aspx

I bought balance tap adapters for my batteries to my Thunder Power chargers from them and would buy from them again. There are other places too, Maxamps and I think Thunder Power sells adapters.

and for the Hyperion http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...=Product-Feeds

Hi Matt
No Matt, thank you. It is always a pleasure to bump into you.

Smooth is good

Same balance plug board as Flight Power if that helps.
