Actually any 2S charging cable cable can easily be modified for that.


One this configuration, just remove the blue wire, and put the red wire where the blue one used to be. 1S cable for iChargers done.

Also the balance port voltage readings are supposed to be more accurate than the mains on the iChargers, IIRC.

See the previous page it has all the answers... Same as balance charging a 1s. You need a new charging cable or modify one like at the top of the page.

I actually figured out a really simple solution if you have a Trinity charger cable.

Anyone have some pictures of how they setup their charger/power supply/discharge bank? Looking for low profile, compact organization ideas, I'd like to save as much room as possible. A few of the pit spots I frequent are on the smaller size, and I'm a neat freak so that plays into most of it lol.

Hi Guys, thanks to all here who contributed to this. I have now ordered myself this charger, I currently have a 208B, reason for my upgrade is I need to charge 2 packs at the track. I have a simple question which I hope someone can answer. My current PS is rated at 250Watts, 12 - 15V forget the brand name, dual output if its worth mentioning. Based on that, whats the highest discharge rate I can expect with the 308 Duo, this for 2s 6000 MAH / 100c HV lipo's. PS. I dont have any other regenerative donor gizmo's etc. Just the power supply as mentioned.

Probably 10 amps per channel.

UPDATE.

Figured it out.... apparently the Balance lead wires were loose and touched which shorted out channel 1. My fault when pulling out the Balance leads. Those stock balance leads are so thin and when you pull it out tugging it out using the wire (after a while - stupid habit) will loosen and pull out the wires.

I bought a more heavy duty charging leads now made by TQ Wire.

Sent out the icharger back since it's still covered under warranty.

TIP... when pulling out balance leads... pull it out the terminal pulling out the connector....NOT the wire.

Thx for getting back to us. Don't you plug that TQ wire into the balance board? I'm using that same TQ wire you posted as a solution and the same thing still happened to me, with the factory balance board. Used the same wire and balance board on the other side and no issues. What balance lead are you referring to?
