2 quick questions about the Orion Advantage & Lipo Battery

[chilly4kc]

I just got my new Advantage Charger and Orion 4800 Lipo and I can't wait to try them out. I was reading through the docs and have 2 quick questions.

1-I have a 20amp power supply on the way. The docs says not to exceed 15v. Does anyone know if this power supply will work?

2-It says over time the Lipos may need balanced. I see the plug hole on the bottom used for balancing. My local hobby store doesn't have an plug to fit that hole so can use it with the Lipo balancers. Is Orion going to come out with a type of plug that will fit that whole so I can balance the Lipo? Will they come out with their own balancer that I can use?

I tried using Orion's forum but no luck. :(

Thanks!

yes that power supply will work because it's a 13.8v power supply. I don't now about the lipo balancer but I would think it would come with the charger. have you tried email orion about it?

I thought that the power supply would work.

I plan on calling Orion on Monday. I did find this on Orion's airplane division site:

This might work, but again the big mystery is where do you find a plug to hit the whole in the bottom of their 4800 Lipos? No one seems to have that adapter.
