4mm Banana plug to 6 x Male XT60 in parallel

Yes Gabriel, this will fit the output for accucel6, but if you plan to use it with your netbook power supply, it might overheat due to overloading. Just monitor the temperature of your power supply and charger or to be safe, you can use this power supply instead PRODUCT ID: 9052000023.

yes you right , if you charge 2 lipo 2200mAh and you set charge amp unit to 4.4A, your battery will be fully in 1 hour, but... if you charge set to 2.2A, your battery will be fully in 2 hour ...

 andreas13 71 points

you need to parallel additional balancer if your charger use "lipo balance" mode, but if you use "lipo charge" mode you only need this item , and make sure that the voltage difference between some of the batteries are the same ...or nearly the same

My charger is an even cheeper and more obscure brand and this cable worked great for me. Just be sure to program your charger like your charging a battery with 3 times the capacity but the single battery voltage.

Yes seeing its Parallel that well work *0)

You should be wary of over drawing the batterie's "C" rating it could go pop!

 SubatomicMD 65 points

* Jordan so are you saying use a higher "C"rating,.. say 25 or 30C rated lipo?

Hi again!
It is as you suggest only take longer to fully charge your batterypack. Your pack will be 100pcnt charged, so dont worry, it will work OK, just a little bit more time is needed. Good luck, happy to help!! cheers from Norway

Hi! This just mean that you need to wait more than just one battery using charge with 2200mAh. The good thing in this case is, you will charge 3 batteries in the same time, thus, you are decreazing at least 2.5x the total time when you compare to charge just a single unit per time.

 telecaster 10 points

You can charge batteries without balance plug, but the advice is TO USE the balancer also. Unbalanced LiPos can become very unstable, they can be damaged if a cell is overcharged, or in worst case catch fire when charging.

Thanks a lot Telecaster, now I understand who it works. One last question, If I charge 3 S3 2200Mah battery, theoretically i should set my charger to 6.6A but the charger I have is a 0.1A to 5.0A charger. G.T Power A6-D. It it means my charger will only charge my battery till 5000Mah or it will only take longer as it will only stop when it detect the Voltage to be 12.4V ?

It will charge until the batteries are done, it will just take longer. I wouldn't recommend charging 9 cells like this, you will not be able to balance them all with this charger.

 telecaster 10 points

I charge my LiPos at 1C ie 2,2 A in your case. Thats a very safe way, som packs can take much higher Amps, but the gurus say that if you charge at 1C your batteries will last much longer.

 greengo746 45 points

If you have 6 3s lipo, you should charge 2 of them at a time at 4.4A. As for the balance plug, you can plug both JST plug into you charger. Plug it into the 3s & 4s JST plug with the black wire at the end pin. Should charge and balance both lipo. Good luck

14 and 12 AWG is my best guess. I ordered it yesterday, so ask me again in 2-3 weeks *)

 st200ol 258 points

See the answer below. If you want to charge at more than 3-4A per pack then you need to connect all the discharge wires as well as the balance wires, and charge thrrough the discharge wires. So you need something like this lead too. There are 14AWG wires to each battery and very thick wires to each Bannana plug.

Its cheaper to make the same type of connector for the balancing plugs as the one for the charge leads.
the charger sees only one plug thats why you have to make sure all balancing plugs are connected to that balancing plug going into the charger unit, same as the charge leads. plugin 1 in, is not ok for the rest.

 Jordan 1 points

... Or you can not worry about the balance leads for most of your charges. Your batteries will typically give you good performance as long as you do balance the cells every couple of cycles. Many people do this, and some never bother to balance at all.

 apolmc 173 points

I have been just charging up to 4 batteries at a time with one balance plug and it works fine I even check the charge and all the batteries are balanced. Checked each cell with two separate lipo monitors and they are fine.

 Patrick 67 points

Just tie the balance taps together in parallel as well.

 tonybooger 193 points

what do you mean by that? toooo many batts charging at once?

 TforRC 546 points

im thinking 6x5000mah 6 cells all shorted at the same time would make a very good weapon :D

 Patrick 67 points

He means that some fool is going to plug in 5 packs and then unplug the Banana jacks (which will inevitably short together) resulting in a fine case of KFF (Kentucky Fried Finger). Lol... I have adapters like that all over my lab..... but then I also have a lot of burnt fingers *-)

 n3m1s1s 1019 points

i think its for a quad setup read my post on the other one listed today :) it will all make sence then *)

 *MoNSteR* 841 points

I am afraid you are incorrect about it being for a quad/multirotor craft. You would not run 6 batteries in parallel, maybe someone has, but not worth the effort for HK to make it for that reason for 2 people to buy. Plus, you wouldnt use bannana plugs like that for that purpose. It is totally obvious it is for CHARGING 6 packs in parallel.

 sparkie 325 points

I do not like this idea... What are the chances of all of them being the same voltage when connected to be charged... LOL, I can see one at 9 volts and another at 12. Geez 3 Volts difference with no limiting.... :( Does exploding LIPS come to mind here!!!

 *MoNSteR* 841 points

I agree to an extent. They should at least put a disclaimer in the description.

 Patrick 67 points

Total nonsense - urban legend. Anyone who thinks paralleling lipo that are at different states of charge is going to result in some sort of epic event has obviously never tried it. I run 24S 15Ah 20C monster lipo packs on ebikes and I have tied completely dead packs in parallel with completely full packs more times than you can shake a stick at - both at the power leads and at the balance taps. This is the same sort of nonsense as the myth that you have to charge at only 1C and that you cant parallel packs of different capacity. All nonsense born of ignorance. I will gladly put two 6S 5000mah 20C packs down my pants - one at 3V/cell and one at 4.2V/cell and parallel them. Nothing will happen - I know because I do it all the time........... Ok - now all the well meaning alarmists can chime in about how a nuclear explosion will occur if you do so (rolls eyes...) :-)

 *MoNSteR* 841 points

Like I said, I agree to an EXTENT. Like you I personally consider most lipo myths just that, even the low voltage and their dead myth, I have brought many many cells back that were at "0" volts. In fact, what sparkie stated, cannot happen like that. The charger will only see the voltage of the pack with the higher state of charge, and will not blow them up due to what he is implying by seeing a 9v pack, trying to charge it to full capacity and in the mean time over charging the full pack. That simply CAN NOT happen with the packs connected in parallel. However, 6 parallel packs, at any capacity, with this type of harness in "most" users hands is a fire hazard.

 Sheko 140 points

i guess if u handmade it will be more cheaper than this also no one can take the risk to charge this number of batteries once at the same time

 SpitfireQuebec 64 points

I'm already charging Lipo in parallel with a setup I made myself without problem as long as:
-batteries are same type (mHa, number of cell even brand)
-always check before that voltage are the same on each battery, on each corresponding cells at /- 0.1
-careful not to overload your charge and power supply
The best to avoid mistake, is charging Lipos in parrallel that were used in parrallel. This way you are sure voltage are the same on all cells.

 levteros 20 points

This Item IMHO makes no sence. Take 4xOut charger (2 on this site) and do the same but with balancing.

 SpitfireQuebec 64 points

I charge in parrallel 2 or 3 Lipos about 8 to 10 times and then I will balance each separatly.Doesn't need more than that. Also, putting for example 2 Lipos in parralel allow you to double the ampacity from your charger.
