I just picked up some Hyperion saddle pack lipos but they will not come with any connectors.

So I was looking to make some as I have an extra balance tap, but also would compare price to one already made. During that comparison I noticed this:



versus this on the Reedy setup:



So my question is this, why exactly do you do one kind of wiring setup versus the other?

I am thinking that since the balance connector wire on the Hyperion setup already connectors to the jumper wire, its the same as if it was connected the reedy way?

They're the same electrically.

thanks.

Maybe reedy was just figuring less confusion by having all the plug sockets filled.

They both have the same number of plugs, 4 one for each socket.

Its the same.
The only thing I hate about them is I cant find longer set ups. There so short you have to darn near put the charger on the kit. So I bought another pack to make practice nights better. Now I just pull the packs. All that aside, you can charge each pack (saddle) separate and save the connection seems how there are technically 4 cells balancing them is a bit of a waste but a quicker way to charge. I have felt more punch from charging them separate. Balancing them seems to hinder the best saddle from peaking to its potential I guess? In short the set up charges each saddle as one cell each. If I new how to make my own I would want a set up that balanced all four.

Maybe some one will get on here and dial us all in?

sorry what I meant was having the charging harness without the jumper wire setup.


was initially going to run these on my duo as 1S packs and have it sync the 2 together until I found out exactly what the connector was configured as, but this seems pretty straight forward.

You can balance both saddle packs (four) at once if you charge them in parallel and make a 4S balance plug adapter by using a 4S male pigtail and two 2S female pigtails then make a main power parallel Y connector.

Stating the obvious but the second one you pictured should be used for charging only..I'm sure you knew that Cain but others may not.

No prob.

I usually make my own jumper and ESC leads to adjust for the packs separation and to keep unnecessary wires out of the driveline of my 4wd buggy. I leave the saddle pack balancing leads on the charger not in the buggy.
