TRITON 2 BATTERY CHARGER
Hi all , Bought a triton 2 battery charger. Do not know much about chargers. I opened and noticed that i can not plug my 3 cell lipo battery for a trex 450 v2. Do i need an adapter of some kind ? Where can i buy adapters for this charger ? Thanks Tim

You can buy leads already made but it would be cheaper just to make your own, all you need are some banana plugs and some Dean connectors (or what ever you have on your battery) and some wire.

Well if you want to "balance charge" the batts. then you need a balancer (such as an Equinox) and the appropriate adapter for the brand of batteries you have.
Balance charging charges each cell equally.
You can buy these balancers and adapter cables in a lot of places, but having said that, if you need help you can start with Tower Hobbies. Somone there can guide you.
It would seem Charlie is suggesting you charge from the discharge leads which is possible but not reccommended for optimium battery life or performance.

yeah I have a triton 2 and also have the electrify equinox which is attached to the triton 2. you then connect the lipo to the equinox and it charges/balances your lipo. the equinox comes with the connector to charge your 3S battery

My triton eq came with 2 balancing adaptors. Your LHS should have or can get what u need for your type of batt. You can simply buy or put together your own batt connector/adaptors. I made 2, need 2 or three more to adapt to all types of rc batts. Flight + tx nicads, flight box pb,etc.
Here is a link that may help you. Know your type of connector, then buy or build.
