I am in the market for a couple new charge leads, probably 24", maybe 30/36" ... 4mm at charger to either just 5 or 4/5 bullets w/2mm balance bullet at lipo end ... need to be good quality to get accurate IR readings, this time around ... toss me what you have been happy with please ... thanks!

Make it?

If it wasn't for the awesome molded strain reliefs that TQ puts on their leads, I would agree.
Since I can't build these... I buy TQ charge cables.

100% agree with this, especially if you charge in a lipo sack. The design of the 2mm balance plug alone is reason enough. Ralph standing behind his products is a bonus.

Plus one,TQ charging cables are very well-built

i dont see how with a wire that long one will have accurate ir reading?

I agree, but it is a bit of a trade-off between convenience of length and 'acceptable consistency' with confidence in the build quality ... I have a few cables here now that I use, and readings can vary substantially between them ... they have served their purpose to this point, but time for a couple newer ones now that I am going all 5mm bullets

Look up Donathen. Then can make whatever you need.

They look nice, but I bought one then had 2 given to me. I constantly had to push in the balance plug and it was very stiff with all the heat shrink.

I don't like any of the premade ones. Got a deal on a white trinity lead, 2-3 months later its got a bad connection.

Lately I've been shortening the leads I have and cutting off the ends as they fray. I really need to make some fresh ones from scratch.
