Well, I got the parts I was looking for. The only place I could get all the TP connectors I wanted was a place I do not want to do business with, so I went directly to TP. Paid a few more cents per cable, but that's ok. And then, I got the headers from allelectronics.com. To make the shipping cost worth it, I got a few extra goodies for future projects.

The whole purpose of this was to make 0.1" spacing balance tap adaptors, but use the TP210 balancer. This balancer has a 450mA balance rate, so balancing is done quicker. And, it seems to be the most accurate at determining actual imbalance.

Here are a few items I got:

And what I made with it:

Made a 6s balance adaptor and a 5s adaptor. I cut little squares out of the PCB, layed the header pins on it, and soldered them. Then it was a simple matter to solder the wires on the PCB as well. The PCB is not needed, but tends to help support/strengthen the pins. Also in the pic is a balance tap break-out board for experimenting, charging/discharging individual cells, etc.
