Default Balancing Lipos on the CORE UDC-20 Charger

so i have the UDC-20 charger... and bought this cable at www.allerc.com
http://www.allerc.com/product_info.p...oducts_id=3702





SURE ENOUGH... when i received it... its the wrong cable. the end that plugs into the charger is incorrect. where can i buy a balancing cable that has the correct connector that fits a UDC-20 and a Team Orion lipo pack?

Thanks!

Go to the Nexus racing web site. They have o good article on how you can make your own harness. It's not difficult.

I don't know whether there is connector that will direct fit for that charger. The nexus website article is the only thing that i know of to work for orion lipos.

That's what I had to do for a buddy of mines UDC charger and orion lipo......Hope that's what your looking for....
nope. thats not what im looking for. basically there are no cables that came with the UDC-20 that fits the cable i have pictured above. and i dont want to have to McGuyver my own cables. i rather just buy it.

maybe i should rephrase my question to... where can i buy a balancing cable that has the correct connector that fits a UDC-20 and a Team Orion lipo pack?

What you need to do is buy the Hyperion charger that matches the other end of that cable. :-) The AC/DC one is sweet.

Do you not have any plug that goes in that charger? SURELY it came some sort of harness. Its VERY simple to take your Xacto and push the little tabs down on the plug and insert the wires in to your plug. Or, if youre SUPER lazy then just lop the wires off and get you some butt connectors and do it that way. I would hardly call any of these MacGyver tactics. That one you got is for a Hyperion LBA-10. If you cant make your own harness then I dont even know how you soldered bullets on to wires for your speedo?
