When I tried to use the Equinox with the regular harness using a 3 amp charge which is what the balance connectors are rated for I was getting to much resistance thus the voltage my charger was seeing was about .40 volts higher.

You can make your own high power adapter using the harness that came with the Equinox. Where the harness has the male connetor which is the connector where you plug in the Lipo balance connector just cut the outer red and outer black wires. These are the 2 power wires which you can put your favorite connector and then plug into the Lipos power leads and use the Equinox in link mode and it will work well.
