Reedy battery question
 

Could someone please tell me what style of balance plug the new Reedy 5000 35c batteries use.Iv'e looked but couldn't find anything.I am thinking about going with a Racers Edge Surecharge charger and Reedy batteries and was needing to know if I will have to pick up an adaptor to balance them.Thanks :D

Hard case lipo uses a separate wiring harness that allows you to charge and balance - the lipo has a 0.5mm female bullet as the balance connection. It will use something like this -

The white block plugs into your chargers balance port and one set of 4mm bullets plug into chargers power outputs and the other into the lipo. I see the charger comes with a balance harness with adapter board but I don't know which one is supplied. Usually when its not mentioned, its the JST-XH type connection, but am not sure. If you get a Hyperion adapter board that RE should have, it would work with the balance harness I linked.

Surely, Reedy has something made up??

I measured the male gold plugs of Reedys included wire harness and got 4mm for the +/- wire and 2mm for the balance wire. The white adapter on the balance wire is jst-xh. I'm making my own wire harness as the flexible rubber boot on the +/- wires is too large to fully insert the wires into the lipo when using the Traxxas Slash battery brace.

Thanks for pointing that out - 1st hard case lipo I've seen that isn't using .5mm for the balance lead.

Are you using a Surecharge charger?

Thanks for the info guys.:D

You can replace that .5mm bullet with a 2mm bullet on the harness I linked. But if you're going to that much trouble, I'd prob just build my own. The white connectors are available.
