Icharger 106b+
I got a balance board for it and it doesn't seem to want to work correctly. I plugged the board onto the 6S port and plugged the battery into the 2S port. When I go to charge it it says the balance port is not connected.
I just wanted to be able to extend the balance lead so I don't have the battery sitting so close to the charger. Am I doing something wrong or do I need something different?

I don't have that charger but what i do with mine is just order a 12 long balance cable and it plugs into charger and your battery pack in the end and that's that makes it simple so you can put the lipos in a lipo sack when charging.
I got mine from hobbyking but you can get them here :

The 106 won't work with a board. If you program in a 2S it expects the battery tap to be in the 2S position, not in the 6S.
Do what I did and either buy a ready made extension from cheap-batteries or somewhere else or make one from a male and female lead (i bought those from.A Main).

I found this same issue when I tried to use the balance board with my 106B+
Not sure if it's something that can be fixed (or maybe has been fixed?) with a firmware update, but I haven't updated my firmware since I bought it. Might be worth a try.

Don't know first hand, but this is an iCharger dealer and says it will work, mentions the 106b+ specifically -

Email him and find out for sure.

It is definitely the correct cable for the 106B+ (the one I have, not the one in the pic) and plugged into the 6S balance port.
I emailed David from Progressive RC so I'll post back if he has any input on the issue.

Since it says that board is supposed to work with teh 106b+ charger, there may be something going on that Junsi hasn't seen before. Maybe its the slot on the board being used since these are setup for parallel and series charging. Thats one I use with my 3010b and I've not had any probs.
I'd trust David to be on top of it though.

I don't have any problems balancing a 2s off of the 6s port....
