Any EBay, Amazon, Online hobby Store. Search not Balancing Wire, But Balancing Cable. 2S-6S cable, anywhere from 6" - 12".
Santa Clarita huh!!! Used to work out there for HRD.

My chargers use a JST XH connector:

If you want to make your own, buy some crimps (SXH-001T-P0.6 or similar - see datasheet), and some housings (XHP-3 for 2S, as an example). Use some nice wire away you go.

wrong one ... .... if you look closely at the wire in the first picture..... connectors are both different.

You are looking at two sides of the same connector.
Each end has the same connector.

so I can just buy a bunch of wires instead of a thousand balance boards and wires

Phillip F 02-03-2022 06:01 PM

thats the wire I want to stock up on because it easily breaks.... balance boards RARELY break.

You can try if the XH plug will fit, Otherwise you can cut off one plug and solder the cable to the balance board.
Or replace the connector on the balanceboard to an XH connetot or just a simple pinheader.
