The last I heard Trinity would not be importing the charger. This was as of the first of december. CS-electric is who is making the charger. Company based out of Germany, not sure if there is another importer. I email them but no response. Anyone else know of someone importing CS products?

I'm on Trinity's team and waiting too. Was told sometime after the 15th....well it's past the 15th.

This is for the older charger but looks like Shumacher USA distibutes CS products:

The Ibalance is back on the Trinity site with end of January availability. Got my fingers crossed

Is this charger any good? How does it balance the cells?

The balance port is built into the charger. I can snap some pics if you like.

Let me know.

Well, I've got Orion, Align style, and Thunder Power lipos and wanted to see how easy/hard it would be to balance all these different kinds.

Do you know if it can charge a 5S at at least 4 amps? (Losi 5S 4000mah for my 8ight-E)

Thanks IIGQ4U!!

The I-Balance can charge/balance up to 5 Amps. My packs use a 2mm bullet port for balancing so I made a connector to plug into the charger and my cells.

Below is a photo of the balance ports:

Align I believe is a brand. Yes, these are the same style ports.
