There should be a picture with my original post.

There seem to be loads of different manuals - I turned up a HobbyKing one
from 2007 for the LiPro Balance Charger (looks like an IMAX B6 'variant') .
the manual is different to all the other ones mentioned on this thread!
Looks a bit like the earlier and later versions will allow charging without a balance
lead, but not mine or RAAArtyGunner's :embarrassed:

Sorry mate, should have opened my eyes and now remember it.
Can't tell by the photo but think there would be connectors that correspond to points on the dedicated charger and these may well activate any balancing connection etc.
So because we can't see it doesn't mean the battery is not balanced during charging.
Have a look on youtube for the battery type and make, interesting what you find on there.
Also would download latest manual version via Fred's link.

There are definitely only two brass pins on the outside of the case - unless the Chinese have fitted
some method of contactless balance charging - and I can't honestly see that in £30 toy car.
I will wait til I have the proper charging cradle and watch it like a hawk while it is charging.
Ta Fred/RAAArty for the link to the latest manual - will investigate - might be relevant because there seems
to be an option to update the charger software via SKYRCs ChargeMaster2 PC software.
