Neu batteries!?

[aqwut]

I though hyperion or allerc had the universal balancer taps... they have all different kinds on one circuit board

Aqwut,
I checked out those adapter boards. I've got the TP and Align ones on the way (ordered similar ones from Maxamps two days ago), and already have the Hyp/polyQ adapters in hand. I'll know what works for sure by this weekend... I hope...

Sweet! I have a few coming myself... got mine from allerc though...
Neus graph looks pretty good to me.. how many of you guys have tried this battery?..
RC_choi... those neu batteries looks very square, do they have somekind of plastic protective coating..?

[rschoi_75]

yeah, these are the new 2s 5000mah car packs. They come with a hard plastic case. They are perfect for me since I have 5 different r/c's that can accept this battery. My E-revo, crt.5, my TC's and 1/10th buggies.

I'm tempted to get a few more... you really can't beat this deal. Mike definitely should start carrying these in the store.

just received my packs today, but I also dont know what balancing plug to use. it doesn't fit my adaptor for my hyperion charger. should I order the adapter for thunder power batteries? would this one work http://www.maxamps.com/HYP-MULTI-TP.htm

I just got my packs yesterday. The hyperion connector does not seem to be a match. Luckily, I ordered the TP adapter (to fit my Flightpower balancer) from Neu with the batteries.

Part number neu-tp works for me, I can balance my Neu packs on my Flightpower balancer.

Once you know what kind of taps you have, you can either buy a balancer that is made to mate to that style tap, or you can buy a balancer and a tap adapter. I think the best thing to do would be to find out what style taps are on the packs and get back with us here so we can recommend balancers/tap adapters for you.

Hi all, I got my batteries, Now I need to know what else I need to get (first time using Li-Po's) I have read that the "Blinky" works with the Neu batteries and the "ICE" charger?? (I have a "ICE" charger) Now I have a dumb question. Do the hard cases come off to charge the batteries?? One more question. where do I get the male connectors like the ones on the Neu's

[gixxer]

well I asked about the plug on another forum and this was the response from steve neu.

Kokam type plugs fit our batteries. We have adapters for the Bantam Chargers we sell. The pin spacing is the common 10th inch so balancers like the Astro Blinky will work without a adapter.

Thanks Steve, I am going to get the "bkinky".

[aqwut]

the blinky works flawlessly... I love it..

[dadgummit]

Being new to the Lipo scene I figured that the Hyperion 0610net charger with the built-in hyperion balancer was a good deal but the Neu balancing tabs are not even close. All neu says is standard 1/10th inch which means little as no-one who makes balancers says their tabs are standard 1/10th inch (at least none in my searches) Does anyone know what balancer-tab adapter I will need and where to get it. Thanks

[gixxer]

according to steve neu, they take the kokam adapter. I just ordered this based on the advice of someone from rcgroups. http://www.allerc.com/product_info.p...oducts_id=3160 but dont have it yet to verify.

unitedhobbies.com has a snot load of different type of balancer connectors.. and cheap too..
