Default How to charge a Thunderpower battery with an Icharger?

Recently I purchased an Icharger 3010B because it looked like the best charger for the things I want to charge.
I've got a 6S Thunderpower battery pack which needs to be charged, but until now it has been impossible to get it connected to the balancer port of the Icharger.
Thunderpower uses a different (stupid) balancing connector which makes it pretty hard to connect their packs to any other chargers than one of their own.

So does anyone which connector to buy to connect a 6S Thunderpower pack to an Icharger 3010B?. I've pretty much bought all the available balancing boards available but none enable me to charge with the balancer.

If it doens't work I'm afraid I need to sell my brand new Icharger, something I really don't want to do.

Did you buy this board, or does it look like the balance plug on your lipo?

This board with the correct adapter cable selection should work. Perhaps contact ProgressiveRC to make sure, they have great service.

That board is for a ThunderPower 820 charger, not the iCharger that DS has.

Awesome, that's what I need. Ordered one straight away.

Thanks a million!
