Help with Hyperion Charger

[22Dasher]

I just received my new EOS606I Charger and I can't figrue out how come it has no way to balance my orion packs if anyone has a solution to this please let me know. I purchased this charger to balance and charge at same time but it's useless to me if I don'thave the option to balancing my cells.

You should be able to balance any lipo pack as long as the number of series cells does not exceed the charger capability and there are balance taps. If the taps do not fit the hyperion connector, you may need some type of adaptor cable. Do you have a linl/pic of the specific Orion pack you are referring to?

The Orions takes a very small like bullet plug inserted into the back for balancing where this chargers balances with the balance plugs like max amps uses.

Picture is a bit dark, but it looks like a TrakPower lipo type of arrangement. If so, there are 4mm plugs for the main + and - leads, and then a 2.5mm bullet plug for the balancer. If so, I've updated my lipo-wiring page to reflect these types of packs.

Go here (http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_lipo.html) and scroll to the bottom. Choose the TrakPower option from the dropdown list. Make sure you select the "charge through main leads" option as well.
