Anyway, I follow the instructions :
- connect the balancer to the lipo comptatible charger (in my case a Robitronic Overloader set to lipo 2s 7.4v and 6000mah for my Maxamps)
- connect the correct balancing cable to the balancer (2s)
- connect the balancing cable to the battery
- connect within 12sec the batterly leads to the LBA.
- press reset button to go into 'Connection' mode.
- press 'charge' on the charger.
The charger starts to charge (I can see it pumping mah into my lipo) and the balancer starts flickering one of the leds of the lipo cells. However after some minutes the balancer shuts down and the charger gives the message 'battery disconnected' and thus cannot charge.
What I'm I doing wrong ?
Thanks for your answers.

It sounds like one of your cells is either too high or too low. Check each cell with a volt meter at the balance connector and make sure they are all over 3 volts and under 4.2 volts. Be careful not to short any of the together with the leads off of your meter. If they are then it could be a dirty balancer connection causing the LBA10 to see the wrong voltage. I usually just clean mine out with brake cleaner and that clears it up.
