hey wizard:

here is the end product:







thank you for all your help.

[onegreenray]

one other question where did you get the carbon fiber from? is the carbon fiber tape just as good? i need to reinforce the sides, have a slight crack going down the side.

[wizard122]

Your setup looks great whats the part # for that balancer you got I want to get one. Yes you can get carbon tape from Kintec use some of that blue masking tape to work with it and some 3M #77 adhesive to tack in place and. It frays and comes apart easy the 77 should hold it in place then lift off the tape and use Z-Poxy on top works great. An old credit card works great to smooth it out. good luck Wiz.

the adapter is from the link you posted for me earlier in this thread from helidirect.

[wizard122]

Thanks the photo at Helidirect dosn't show the 2 4S ports thanks. so it will charge 3X2S 2X3S and 2X4S is that right?

[onegreenray]

yes that is right.

Hey Wiz, question for you (or other RKI's).

Is this set-up safe for charging two 2S batteries? Or would I need to clip the outside black wire and trim the plug to fit into the 6 cell port - don't want to short-out anything.

Thanks

[wizard122]

You need to cut it like I showed in my posts

You need to cut it like I showed in my posts

The reason I ask is because someone is telling me it will work as shown.

I know this is how it works for me I took the balancer apart and that outside wire is not connected to anything you can do what you want but this is how I do it and it works with no problems

Hi Wiz,

Thanks for the excellent advice about using the turnigy 8150 charger. One more question that I would like to ask you is that can I use this power supply for the Turnigy 8150 charger? Pyramid PS15KX 10A 13.8-Volt Power Supply with Cigarette Lighter Adapter it is sold at amazon.com. Although HK has several excellent PSU, I can get this one in several days. Thanks

[wizard122]

That may be too small if you are going to charge more than one pack

[wizard122]

Found this one more amps so you can charge more than one pack at a time and not over work the power supply.

wiz,
charger keeps giving me a wrong cell voltage. i checked with a hand held voltage tester and seems it is not reading the cell voltage right. every time i go to balance and charge it trys charging 4 cells as 8? any ideas what the cause is? kinda stumped, is it the charger or the balancer multi connector?

[wizard122]

What happens when you charge one pack?

[ninjaSV27]

Wizard, when you connect the two lipo batteries to your Turnigy 8150 what setting do you use? For example, I charging two 7.4 volts batteries....do I set the charger for 7.4 volts or 14.8 or 15 volts at 4 cells or just 2 cells?

[onegreenray]

here is a few pics.

[wizard122]

Show me the setup with every thing wired OK

[wizard122]

Should look just like post #26 ?
