HELP!!
I've just ordered a transmitter lipo battery to convert my tx but on hobbyking they say the charge connector is a JST-XH now I've used lipos lots before in my RC cars and they all used 4 or 6mm banana connectors to charge the JST-XH is just the balance lead, but hobbyking seem to suggest this is the charge lead {:-{ or am I reading this incorrectly
this is the battery https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-1450mah-3s-11-1v-transmitter-lipoly-pack.html (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-1450mah-3s-11-1v-transmitter-lipoly-pack.html)

Yes they are saying this is the charging lead

That's what's what I thought but whats confusing me Andy thats a futaba connector which they say is a discharge in the listing, they list charge as a JST-XH {:-{

Listing error I would say Paul

Cool thanks Andy I was hoping as much as I already have those charge leads :-))

I don't know of a transmitter that uses a receiver servo connector :-))
probably many listing errors but their online chat is pretty good.
Or velly good {-)

{-) {-) {-) no that's true my transmitter currently uses 8 AA's hence the reason for changing although I have rechargables it's still not good so I need to open the back and swap the battery to circuit board lead over with one I've made up with a JST-XH 2 pin so I can always go back should I need to
-
Looking at all listings across the web they all say the same so I would say the misinformation comes directly from Turnigy and retailers just print what they are given.
-
soon know if the battery blows up {-) {-)
-
The receiver batteries use the JR and I'm sure the Chinese have just not understood in Engrish that the TX is different
-
will do a check when it arrives tomorrow before charging though, just to be safe :-))
-
I have submitted a comment on the listing for them to chew on.
Hi
The charge and discharge connectors are described the wrong way around. Transmitters do not use a JR connector, that is the charging point.

Be interesting to see there reply :-)) thank you Andy

The recommended charging lead is the give away {-)

Yes I agree but.......... been there before i've had lipo's blow on me and it's not pleasant so i'm just over careful now
-
Just found a youtube video of someone converting the same transmitter and battery as mine and he tells you about connecting and charging the battery and you was spot on (as usual ok2 ) thanks for your help Andy :-))

Quite right too Dave :-)) I normally buy from the component shop too very good quality been bitten before, but on this occastion I couldn't find a lipo that was 14mm thick on their website I searched twice, but I found them straight away on hobbyking so they got my money this time but I have to say you will find it hard to beat hobbykings prices on lipos
