Posted at 2014-04-22 by @gfwilliams I don't have any specific links to batteries on eBay, but you could actually just solder a PHR-2 connector onto a phone battery. I've done this a lot and it works very well. I don't think the Parallel Charging board will work (but I could be wrong) - I think it requires at least two cells (on a 3 pin connector) rather than one. I actually soldered up my own adaptor to charge the batteries from the B6 - just a Male PHR-2 connector and two leads... Posted at 2014-04-22 by Stefan Hi Gordon, Thank you very much for the infos! How did you manage the connection to the B6, as there are special connections required? So what have you used as "two leads" --> for B6 you need a "Banana Plug" for the direct connection? And is it correct to use a Male one, not a Female for the charging wire? I think the male is at the batteries... Would instead ebay or progressiverc also fit for B6? They look quite suitable for me. To build a PHR-2 connector, you need a
Sorry for the noob questions ;-) (soldering is no problem for me), but I want to have all the parts I need altogether for an order. Kind regards, Stefan Posted at 2014-04-23 by @gfwilliams The two links you sent for ebay/progressiverc both look perfect - that's exactly what you need. And yes, to build the connector you just need 2x contacts and 1x housing. I actually crimp the terminals by hand using thin pliers (rather than a special crimp tool) and then I just put a small dab of solder on. Posted at 2014-04-30 by Stefan I've soldered my first battery clip yesterday. It worked great, so I'll try it out with different types of batteries. Especially your advice to only use small dab of solder is important. Attached, I've taken a photo of the result. Attachments: Posted at 2014-04-30 by @gfwilliams Hi Stefan, That's great! It's a really handy connector :) Posted at 2014-05-01 by Stev Heh. The video seems to show Magician's hands with all those moves. Still waiting for something to vanish/appear. Now you see it... :) Posted at 2014-05-15 by PaoloM Stefan, I'm also about to solder a battery pack to a power plug but I don't know the polarity. I assume that the red wire is positive and the black one is negative. Can you confirm that? Thanks! Posted at 2014-05-15 by @gfwilliams Red should be positive, black negative - however the battery connector is reverse voltage protected so even if you wire it up wrong it'll be ok. Posted at 2014-05-23 by PaoloM Thank you! |

Hello,
I'm from Germany and like the espruino very much! As I want to buy a suitable add-on for my B6 iMAX and a LiPo-battery I visited http://www.espruino.com/Battery.
Even though I have questions:
(Link to ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Parallel-Charging-Balance-Board-for-Lipo-LiFe-Li-ion-IMAX-B6-Battery-Charger-DIY-/191142911532?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c81015e2c)
Many thanks in advance,
Stefan
