Part number for Thunder Power Balancer?

[GordonFreeman]

Anybody know what connector the Thunder Power batteries/balancer uses?

[Dan-o]

is a balancer necessary for using Lipo packs?

[GordonFreeman]

You should balance the cells occasionally.

They use the Thunder Power connectors. There doesn't seem to be a part number for them, but you can buy the connectors/pigtails separately.
If you go to http://www.maxamps.com , and click on "Plugs and Connectors" toward the bottom on the left-hand side, you will see two TP connector pigtails:
"TP4P4- 4pin tap with 22awg wire", for 2s or 3s
"TP6P13- 6 pin tap with 22awg leads", for 4s or 5s
Maxamps also sells adapters.
