Oh, and in the instructions, it did call out that if you create your own charge leads that they need to be a minimum of 14g and no longer then 8". So there must be a voltage drop concern.

I bought a Hyperion ~ jst-xh adapter from here (its a UK site but I'm sure you can get it abroad). It works with my RED HARDCASE 5000 MaH LiPo from SMC. I also made my own charge leads by buying some 12 gauge wire, Deans, and 4mm banana plugs.
