Good luck....it just made me wonder if it went threw or not the first time. I think I selected paypal by accident at first, when I wanted to use my CC. But you do get a shipping confirmation Email at least....and they ship via priority mail.

Mine is on the way!! Check out was pretty straight forward, but since you warned me, I was paying close attention and used Paypal to get 'r done.

This just comes withteh one type balance tap - the jst-xh type, right? I've seen other balance tap adapters for this on the HK site and when I order my zippys I'll prob get the other cables since I have a mix of balance taps.

Here is the side of it...it has a bunch of connectors, but I have not pulled the instructions to see exactly what they are.

My Proteck's I got from A Main plug right into the top left side connection here.....

Thanks for the close up - I see what I'm going to be dealing with - the plugins on that side are 2S thru 6S balance taps for JST-XH style taps. I have a pr of 3000 3S Protecs for my radios, so I can use it right away for those.

question....are you supposed to connect via the balance connector & the power connector at the same time? I've had some smaller lipos that I just had to connect via the balance tab, and that was it....

This is a balancing charger - you connect both sets. It balances while charging is ongoing. That way, you wind up with a fully charged, balanced lipo. Termed an active balancer vs a passive balancer which, after charging, just discharges all other cells to the cell lowest voltage.

Hyperion chargers, the 0610series, it makes a diff which order these 2 sets of cables are connected in. If manual mentions nothing about it, then it doesn't matter on this one.

I just looked at the manual - boy this little guy has got the features! Anyway, did not see preference for order in which both sets of cables are connected, so its not an issue. I know folks who say to cabel up completely with power off , then turn it on, set up and charge. I know others who turn charger on, then put cables on, then setup and charge. I've always done it with charger off, but looks like it really doesn't matter.

Ok...that works for me...I just wanted to make sure I plugged both in at the same time

Spam ought to be against the law....I had spam filter set on exclusive, so if they sent me something, it was bounced or killed. I did go to their site and pull my account up - says it shippped 11/19, so everything's cool.

Should have it in next few days!!

I just soldered some deans on a couple batteries, and trying it out now....it reminds me alot of a Triton menu system....but this is nicer as back-lit, and also gives you individual cell voltages as your charging.

Got mine today and its finishing on its 4th batt of the evening, 7 cell 4400mah NiMH pack. Very impressive for its small size. Will have to wait for lipo until i get some adapters, but have no doubt it will take care of those like it does the NiMhs.

What a great deal!!
