Balancer wire broken

Yikes, I'm charging it with an old non-balanced charger now. Any way to salvage this? Thanks!

u'll have to cut open the pack to solder it back..

be careful though..

[simonwoo]

Hmm don't think I'll want to risk that given my poor soldering skills :P Looks like I'll have to just charge this without balancing and maybe use it for a few more cycles before saying bye bye to it

Search function is pretty useful.

Since yours is only the black wire broken, u'll just have to connect it to the main black wire (by cutting up a small piece of isulation from it to expose the cores to be soldered to). Don't have to open up the pack.

great idea

Thanks for the tip Adrian.

Wow xeqouz so I can actually solder the broken part to the black wire permanently, and it will have no impact when I fly or charge? This sounds like the best solution!

I'd been doing that for a few lipos. Unless the wires are mixed up at the factory(which I encountered once! Found that out when I had problem checking the batt voltage with e batt checker, dunno wat may happen if I plug in to the charger), otherwise the small & big Blacks are common, likewise for the Reds. For the middle wires, the lipo gotta be opened up at least partially to repair..
