LiPo Balance Connector Compatibility

Perhaps the main problem with Lithium-Polymer batteries (other than their tendency to explode when damaged) is the lack of a standard for their balance connectors. This limits which chargers and balancers you can use with a given pack. To address this, Evan at RC Accessory has put together a great list of which brands comply with the four different variations out there in the wild. Check out his Balance Tap Configuration Guide for the details, and remember that some brands using identical connectors have the polarity reversed. Good grief!
