Default losi lipo balancing

I bought a losi 4400 30c lipo and I知 having a hard time finding an adapter for the balance connector. I知 using a Hyperion duo charger that has a built in balancer so I don't want to buy an external balancer.

Try Max Amps, they will custom make one.

Metalracer2, I have the same issue (Losi 7.4v 30c 4400 Lipo) and Hyperion 0606i. You stated in your response above, that you contacted MaxAmps and ordered a conversion cable to connect the Losi Lipo to the Hyperion. I called Maxamps this morning to order what you did, but they knew nothing about it and stated that Losi is one of a very few Lipos that the Hyperion doesn't work with.

My questions to you are: (1) did what you order work?; (2) if it did work, what did you order so I can order it too.; (3) if it didn't did you find a resolution? After my call to MaxAmps this morning, they suggested that I ask you the above questions and if the end result was positive, then they may be able to duplicate.

Thanks,
David (aka Fuzewolf)

A lot of the Losi bats have the 2mm balance connectors like the Thunder Power LiPo's.

Thank you both, RCGaryK & Metalracer2. I thought the Losi harness from Horizon may work, but for the price of the MaxAmps, I'll go with it. Which adapter are you using? The TP or what? Sorry, I should have asked this question with the original. I have the adapter that was included with the Hyperion and purchased the LB10TP.

Thanks again everyone.

it's just a 2mm to 2.5mm adapter. So should be the Thunder Power one.

For Hyperion get the additional adaptor that accomodates the Thunder Power connector.

Works great!
