    I ordered and received several of these packs recently. I was ready for to run some boats this weekend until I discovered I could not charge these batteries because of the balance jack. I have a HP and TP board but they won't work. Looking foward to hearing about what connector works. I'm shocked that the lipo industry does not standardize these connectors to eliminate this frustration.

    it is ridiculous. i sent an email to revolectrix because i couldnt find the correct boards. found out they no longer make the board that accepts their batteries. what!!!??? was told i need to order a spa jack that accepts 2-8s revo batteries. ordered 2. what came was a board that has an in and out connection. connector in middle of the board that accepts multiple size batteries. nothing to connect to charger or another spa board. and the wires that connect to charger are different than the ones that connect spa's to each other.!!!! at this point I have emailed questions to ebay seller of the jacks to make sure i can order the correct wires. will let you know what i find out. a little frustrating to say the least.

    All recent Lipo batteries I've ever used/purchased had JST-HX balance connectors on them, including my Revo's.

    we are not questioning the battery's balance connectors. we are questioning the charging connectors of the cellpro powerlab.

    Not sure which connectors you mean, the main charge leads are banana plugs pretty standard. But the balance connectors output can be switch between FMA wiring or XH/EH wiring in the CCS software.
    If you want to use an XH/EH adapter with the powerlab you can cut the balance plug off and replace it with a Cellpro pigtail
    Revolectrix part number CPBP-10-US unless there is somebody making adapters for them.

    that is an easy swap to what ever connector you want to put on there
