I'll post pics of my batteries balancing ports later on. I use PC connectors. I also made a power output cable with EC5 connector for when I do parallel packs. I'm just waiting for the usb adapter to play with the custom settings. I just got me an HP server 47A power supply. I just need to figure out the pinout to turn the sucker on.

Awesome,
is that a 12volt or a 24volt power supply. I know these chargers can utilize both types. But the 24volt is required if you're goiong to charge say, a 6cell or larger battery at 6c or 30amps. I got lucky, and my 12volt power supply has enough watts to power my charger to charge my 3cell at the full 30amps. if I was charging any more cells, I may have to charge at a lower amperage. some of what I've just said was the most difficult for me to learn and understand, but I understand enough to make it happen now, and that's what counts.
By the way, your subject says Whatanut, before the charger model, and it looks as if that has something to do with the charger model. but I've never heard of whatanut before. can you please tell me what the word "whatanut" is related to?
PS. You must really understand electricity quite well to be able to configure your own balancing plugs. any chance you can document your procedure. in other words, pictures followed by detailed explanations of what each wire does and how it balances your batteries. I know many people understand how to do this, but I come from Nitro background and know very little about electricity. But I want to learn and understand as much as is possible. I hope you will do this. This thread would be a good place to show this process of making your own, or configuring your own balncing port plugs for certain lipo or other types of batteries that anyone may want to balance. I find this to be very important and extreemly valuable information. I hope you can do it :-)
