I need a LiPo Balancer! Help!
 

Hello! I purchased a Onyx 230 Charger for my packs and now I need to purchase a separate lipo balancer.

The only LiPo I own right now is a Losi 7.4 1650mAh for my Mini T. But I will be purchasing more in the near future.

Silly question...How does a separate balancer work??!?!



What does everyone recommend?

Simpliest and cheapest and prob one of the easiest to use - Astro Blinky -

This works either as a standalone balancer or a while you're charging. You plug it into teh balance plug on your lipo. While charging, the balancer makes all cells have teh maximun cell voltage of 4.2v. Used as a standalone, it discharges all cells down to the lowest voltage indicated by any cell.

You get a better charge by balancing while charging.

personally I think this one is a better choice:http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXMGS7&P=ML
