Yes, the team checkpoint balancer will work with your charger. It will just plug into the output pos and neg, and you will set the balancer to Charger-Thru mode.

This will only allow you to charger one battery at a time.

The batteries look just like the trak power lipos. I made up a charge/balancing harness to charge my two trakpower packs as a 4s lipo. Basically it has 12gauge cables that go to the pos of the first pack and the neg of the 2nd pack. The a 12 gauge jumper connect the two packs via the other two ports. This make the charger see the 2 packs as a 4s lipo. Then the 5 wires from a hyperion balance tap are connected to the battery. The first and last hook to the pos and neg of the previously mentioned 12 gauge wires. 2mm bullet connectors are soldered to the 2nd and 4th tap wires to go into the center small port on the battery. Lastly the 3rd wire hooks to the 12 gauge bridge made between the batteries. Taht way you hook the tap to the balancer with a 4s adapter and the main leads hook to the large wires on the balancer output.

Check out briang's website as it has wiring diagramps for the trakpower lipos, which will work for you.

I can post a pic if you need it.
