I have this one and have been very satisfied with it's performance - but they are out of them at the moment.

Oz, is this the battery you have? http://hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9514
If you look under the specs, they tell you that the plug ( balancer, but they call it the charge plug, it is a JXT-HX type plug common on Turnigy, Rhino and the other battery ) You need to look under parts/accessories and find the male/female JXT-HX to your brand name type plug!. This is an example http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9916&Product_Name=Male_JST-XH_%3C-%3E_Female_Kokam_3S_10cm__(5pcs/bag)

Your Turnigy balance plug will fit into the Etti balancer.

Those connectors are also called Align.

They are the most common of the balance plugs. Thunderpower, flightpower use a smaller plug with smaller pin spacing. PolyRC and some others use a third type plug and the 'skip' a hole on the plug housing. It's maddening!
