e-Electric Batteries & Chargers > Hyperion Duo charging FlightPower EVO25 batt question.

I have two FlightPower EVO25 3700mAh 5s1p batteries (stored new for two years) and would like to charge them on my Hyperion i610 Duo. The balance adapter boards that came with the Hyperion will not work with the balance connectors on the battery.

Anyone know what I need to adapt this?

Thanks

pm "cam",he will let you know exactly what you need to do,you will have to switch balance tabs or buy an adaptor,as I'm not sure which balance end hyperion uses

I did a post on this before,but wouldn't it be really nice if all these manufacturers could knock this crap off and agree on 1 connector,and you could charge any battery on any charger

You will have to get the balancer piece that is sold that will work with TP batteries. You should be able to get this from any dealer that sells Hyperion. Don't forget to order 2 of them.

Thanks for the link Kcordell. The balance adapter that comes with the charger has 5 connectors on each board and still not enough!!!


Like you fenderstrat I wish they would get on the same sheet of paper on the balance connectors or offer the damn adapters for FREE!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Fenderstart. Great idea too but unfortunately it seems to me that branding does not work like that. All types have their own plugs. Although there's maybe only five types of plug and about 50 brands.

-TP type adaptor fits FlightPower Evo.

On the shelf for two years! From what I've read LiPo's have a shelf life! That starts from the date of manufacture! You best check the F/P website.

Does each 5S F/P battery have one balance tap?

vetrider As far as I know from what I have heard from the warehouse staff, you can now choose which type of balance adaptors comes with your charger.

Typically up to and including 5S have one tap.

Got 2 TP adapters ordered from the first link.

Yes, each battery has one tap (black).

I was able to charge the two 5S1P packs, one at a time, on my 1010/210 charger. This turned out to be a good thing as one pack took a while to balance but completed the charge ok. The other pack went through a normal looking charge.

I'm planing on running these two in my stretched Logo 14. Nothing drastic just sport flying. So, anything I can get from them is a plus as I wouldn't sell them under the circumstances.

The original balance adapter board works fine on my Outrage batteries and the adapter cable they come with.

I think all the charger manufacturers should come to an industry standard balance connector and if the battery manufacturers do not want to comply they will have to provide the adapter cable with the battery like (Outrage seems to do anyway).

Thanks for the good info guys. I'm still a noobie to the electric scene.
