I think hobbycity use a 3 year old kid with a tape measure to get their measurements!

So maybe I should just bite the bullet then and get some, not a very big bullet either.

What balancer do you guys recommend getting?

Astroflight Blinky, more universal than a really universal thing, and cheap too.

I personnally love that my Hyperion balances as it charges. I feel that is the best way to go, IMHO.

If you get an adapter you can hook the two packs up as one and use a normal balance charger. That's what I do... Then hit it with the blinky.

I'd rather keep using my power supply for charging, it's much more flexible and can be controlled from a computer... it also has a nice screen with set volts/amps, and actual output volts/amps/watts. I like it.

And why do they not have balancers at hobbycity?? I don't get this?

What about this one? Do I need adapters or anything?

The chargers at hobbycity balance the packs as they charge - as most lipo chargers do. If you buy a new lipo charger, you'll have a built in balancer 99% of the time. I have a balancing charger and a blinky. When it comes off the charger, it is usually perfectly blanced, but I use the blinky to make sure and I use it after runs.

What about this one? That, and the 3 cell to 6 cell adapter, that should work right.

This is the power supply I am looking at as well, I thought I would go for a larger psu just to be future proof.
