<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a bit of experience with connectors of this
nature and I am comfortable working with them. However, considering the fact
that a short between the pins would likely do serious damage I think I will try
to find the parts for an adapter rather than attempt rework. Besides, the
plastic moldings are not the same size.</FONT></DIV>

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</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The balance connectors are a little different in
size but it appears to me that the wiring is exactly opposite between the two.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is the common practice simply to fabricate/buy an
adapter cable to charge them?</FONT></DIV>
