Can I do this???

[LiPo Power]

Hi Boaters
Can I charge 2 2S Lipos as 4S on my charger? ( or 3x2s charging as 6S )
Have a look at the picture.
Cheers

In theory yes ... but not recommended with out the balance taps.

[line6]

it is supposed to be safer to charge them in parallel. one big 2s pack

This is the way to go I think.....

I do that on my Triton chargers all the time, it works well. I can show you how to build a balance harness as well.

That's right, you missed last season's charging harness build session . They are a great way to charge two packs at the same time.

[6S HYDRO]

acually H.C. has a 6s splitter balance adapter, plugs into your charger's balace port as a 6s and then splits it to two 3s balance plugs- effectively charges 2 3s packs as one single 6s pack. they need to come out with the 3x2s splitter so i can charge 3 2s packs as a 6s

Go ahead Doby and show us.... :thumbup1:

I'm new so research my advice....

But the picture is of two batteries in series correct? You would want to run them in parallel (w/ a fabricated balance tap of course).

Ok, thank You but I only see one end going to balancer and other to the battery. How do I plug this in to balance 2 lipos ? Sorry but I just got confused...

:iagree: What are we missing? Plugs on the other end Id imagine?

[6S HYDRO]

theres 2 3s plugs on the other side of that yellow board, you need to have your big power wires together in series to the big deans style plug so your charger see's 22.xx volts

Here (http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_lipo.html) is a link to show how to wire a harness. You can get connectors from e-bay for really cheap. Here is the 6s (http://cgi.ebay.com/RC-Lipo-battery-6cell-6s1p-22-2v-Balance-charger-plug_W0QQitemZ370363978096QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio _Control_Parts_Accessories?hash=item563b69d170)and the 3s (http://cgi.ebay.com/RC-3s1p-11-1v-Lipo-battery-Balance-charger-plug-x-10_W0QQitemZ360252119241QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_C ontrol_Parts_Accessories?hash=item53e0b318c9)

This is assuming it for an XH tap plug. for other you may have to source out another vendor.

the h.c. one is already wired up and ready for your charger for 1.99, id go that route

True but you can also get 2s conectors and create 4s, 5s, and 6s combinations.
