?Parallel charging with this battery?
 
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=20842

So i have five of these for a heli and want to parallel charge them with my triton EX. What board will i need?

I aske because the stock charger that came with the heli charges through the balance lead and nothing connects to the jst-xh. Does the stock charger work differently then my triton eq? could i just get a big balance board and plug the leads in or what?

im confused.

yeah, stock aircraft chargers that are meant for around 1amp max charge will often charge through the balance lead, which is indeed different than how the triton works. to parallel charge those packs, you need a balance board specifically for parallel charging, and more than likely wire up a harness for the jst plugs unless you can find one.

I'm not positive, but assuming the red connector is a JST plug, and the white JST-XH balance tap will connect to your charger or balance board, this may be an option.

This parallel charge cable and select JST-XH and 3S on this balance adapter. Another source here and here. Perhaps check with them first to help make sure everything connects up.

I don't see a parallel board that works with JST without doing the connectors or using adapters, a big board is possibly overkill for those batteries anyway. If interested look at the same sites, they have a large selection.
