[NSRCA-discussion] What is the difference between JST-XH/GP/PQ balance plugs

[Ronald Van Putte]

That's great information Verne.  I have two Turnigy 10XC chargers and tried in vain to find what connector plugged into them.  I ended up cutting two of the dual balance boards in half and harvested the connectors from the unused nonJSH-XH sides.  Then I made two pigtails by cutting two JST-XH extensions off near the male end and soldered them to the two connectors I'd harvested.  It was a LOT of work.
