[NSRCA-discussion] Electric newbee question...

Also be aware that you must ignore the color code and use a voltmeter to
find the common (ground) lead.

John,

 

Is the battery from Commonsense RC?

Depending on connectors, some of them has wires just soldered to the pins
and each one of then can be carefully pull out of the connector.  With a #11
blade tip, you can also pull the wires out of the balancer connectors on
some of batteries

 

You should be able to find a balancer connector converter or can make them
with one female that fits on the pack and one male that matches the
charger/balancer you have.

I bought a heli (Align-Trex 450) from one fellow that uses 3S-2100 mah
LiPo's and an airplane from another guy that uses the same batteries
(ThunderPower). 

The balance connectors are a little different in size but it appears to me
that the wiring is exactly opposite between the two. 

 

Is the common practice simply to fabricate/buy an adapter cable to charge
them?
