Something new for safer charging?

[dethow]

You can make up longer charger connectors, but the balance boards might be a challenge.

You can buy balance lead extensions from 6" to 24" long.
I'm sure many places sell but easiest to see them is on eBay by searching "balance lead extensions".

Thanks for bringing this thread back to light. I missed it the first time around and was already in planning stages of building a storage box out of a metal tool box and fire resistant drywall. I ordered 4 or these for safe storage in my home.

APEX RC makes some nice lead extensions, I have their 12" versions for my charging box.

All 3 just showed up at my office. They're everything I dreamed they could be. haha They do seem really solid.

I really have no plans to charge in them. My concern is for my cells when I'm not around at all.

progressive has everything you would need in the way of adaptors, extensions ect.

Ok, my first impression is this thing is nice. Very nice. It looks and feels well built. I fit (2) 4400mah 6s, (3) 5000 4s and a 5000 3s plus I think it'll fit 4 more 3s packs. For storage.

Nice however if one cell goes, they ALL go.

Absolutely Ray. At least this way he has a shot at saving the house/shop/car/whatever. We always had that problem.

Should note these aren't very big. Travis got some cells in there but they're still small units. If you're a super freak you will out size a single box quick.

The guy that undertook this venture is like us. A hobbyist with a cool idea. This thing is a dream come true for me being a fire protection professional. I looked into a fusible link type suppression setup that was about 4 times this size. Super cost prohibitive. I hope Tom can make a few bucks on them now. Who knows, maybe different versions will make sense later.

I agree, it's not big at all but better than nothing. You (I) can always buy more and it's a meter, nicer looking solution to storing your batteries. Let us know how they stack on top of each other. If they will I'll buy another.
