When charging LiPo
and LiFe batteries you need to make sure to balance charge them once in a
while or even at every charge to make sure all cells in a pack have the
same voltage level as too low or too high voltage values can lead to
dangerous battery conditions.
Most
of today's LiPo and LiFe-compatible charger feature an internal
balancer, a unit and software feature that equals the voltage of the
cells, making sure they are at the same level. To use this feature a
balancer harness is needed that allows the charger to "read" every cell
in a battery pack.
When
searching for the correct balancer harness for your battery and charger
you need to keep attention to several points as are the type of your
battery's power connector, the balancer connector type as well as the
respective connector types on your charger.
The
most common battery connect types are the 4mm and 5mm bullet-type
connectors, the so called T-plug (also known as Deans connector) as well
as the Tamiya-style Molex plug and a few other such as the Traxxas TRX
and iD connectors.
On
the balancer side of things the most common types are the very common
JST-XH and not-so-common JST-EH plugs while the respective connector for
chargers is called Polyquest or PQ, although there are also devices
that use JST-XH connectors. As you can see this can already cause some
confusion as at time the terms are mixed up.
Now,
when you are looking for the perfect balancer wire for you, first check
the balance connector on your charger. Refer to the supplied manual or
information given on the manufacturers website to see what connector
type you are after. Say your charger uses the Polyquest connectors you
then look after the respective balancer port on your battery pack. When
using competition-type batteries, you will likely find an internal 2mm
tube-type connector port while many "sports" batteries are equipped with
external XH or EH balancer ports. Finally you only have to detect the
type of battery connector your battery has.
With the given information you can now look after your perfect balancer and charging harness. EuroRC offers a wide range of pre-wired balance harnesses and even adapter wires if you did not find a pre-configured one.
Charging industry-standard 2S LiPo packs requires most likely a harness such as Vampire Racing's 2S charging wire with EH/PQ balancer port, stepped 5mm/4mm bullet-type connectors and 2mm balance connector.
Traxxas
battery packs use their own TRX iD connectors with integrated balancer
connection and saddle pack battery packs require a harness with
integrated jumper wire. Most of the wires come with XH or PQ balancer
connectors for the charge side, meaning you can either use them directly
with the charger or with the addition of – most likely included –
balancer boards/adapters. When using "sport" battery packs with external
balancer connector, you can plug those directly into the balance
board/adapter. If your charger comes without a balanced board, you can
get a multi-balance board for EH, XH, TP/FP and HP/PQ balancer
connectors here. It is usable with 2S to 6S battery packs and thus should meet virtually every RC car related need.
As
for the battery connector, competition packs will likely use 4mm or the
newer 5mm bullet-type "tube" connectors while sport packs will use T-type "Deans" or XT60
connectors. Most pre-configured balancer wires come with either bullet-
or T-plug connectors while XT60 and other "less usual" plugs require
respective adapters.
If you are unsure what harnesses or adapters to use with your battery, feel free to contact us!
