6s to 4s balance lead?

[mbailey]

I have a C240 duo charger and I’ve always used the balance board to charge my lipos that came with it. I recently bought a couple bat safe charge boxes and it’s kinda difficult to setup with the balance boards. I was hoping to find a balance lead that will go straight from the charger into my 4s batteries but the charger input is 6s and my batteries are 4s. I have not been able to find any cables like that. Do they even exist?

Doesn't really matter.. you can plug a 2s lead into a 6s plug.. ground pin is the only thing that matters..

Just re-read your post... So I had to edit my answer...

They have 6s balance wire extensions that can make it easier...
Put the extension between the charger and the balance board & put the board in the box with the battery!

Or scroll to the right on that Amazon link & get 4s extensions...
But you'll have to buy some for other batteries (2s,3s,6s...etc)you may have or buy in the future...

Another cheaper option...

That's exactly what I do.I keep my balance board inside my safe bag while charging

Here are a couple photos of my setup... I have 4 bat boxes and 2 dual port chargers. 2 of my bat boxes are setup like this for charging.

All the cables disconnect for easy transport.

Great idea!

I have a .50 Cal. Ammo can for lipo storage that I removed all of the seal from except the edge near the latch. The latch mechanism needs that portion to properly lock. Leaving the rest off for venting if there's a fire.

I'm running out of space so I may grab 2 more & some grommets so I can run the leads through them for home & field charge boxes.

Also I am getting into parallel lipo charging since my toolkitRC M6D charger can handle everything I throw at it!

That's how I do it with my Bat-Box. I also keep a charging cable with an EC5 connector semi-permanently installed into the box, and I use an adapter from EC5 to whatever type of charging connector I have on the battery being charged. That way I don't have to fish different charging cables through the Bat-Box seal.

Where did you source the cable extensions from? Primarily the balance leads?

i bought a cheap connector kit off Amazon to try and I’m not so hot with it. Maybe I’ll give it another go. Thanks for the links!
