Charger & Lipo balancing
 
I have a ElectriFly TRITON

I would like to buy these batteries:

Elite 25c 4800mah 2S - 7.4 volts

http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/?si...owlipos&sale=Y

I will run 2 packs in my E-Maxx (HV-Maxx 6.5)

Can I use this balancer?

I also plan on use this for my LVC and wiring it on the BEC side


http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXPGM8&P=SM

1. Will this all work together?
2. What balancing taps should I order with the batteries? (TP or PQ)


Thanks for the help!!!!

Which packs are you getting, the link shows the whole page? Which taps are you using?

I don't know what taps to get, that is a question that I asked in the frist post

Not sure about the balancer, if the taps are the right ones, then it would be fine. For an LVC, I would get the li Saver that Mike sells. I may have one too that has never been used also, PM me if you are interested. The packs look ok, but saving money now may hurt in the end. you would be better off getting the maxamps packs IMO. The good thing about maxamps too, is the hyperion taps are easy to use, and you know it all works together.

I think that the balancer would work. Seems that polyquest is the same as Hyperion.

The equinox balancer is the same thing as a hyperion lba balancer, I have 2 of each and they are identical in operation and connection. The only prob is that the eqinox comes with eflite adapter harnesses. You would have to purchase this: connector page The first item is what you want, it will allow you to plug the elite battery into the balancer. Make sure that you choose the polyquest tap option when buying the batteries, it is the same as the hyperion.

On a side not, those batteries are most likely as good or better than maxamps 5k packs. If you really want a good set of 2s packs buy the trakpower hard case lipos. They are 120 each, but well worth it. I tested them back to back with a pair of maxamps 5k 2s packs and there is no comparision.

Thanks for the great info!!
Ya, I would like to get the trakpowers, but money is a little low right now. I think the elites will work good for now
