Reedy 2-6s Xh Balance Board
Description
The Reedy 2-6S XH Balance Board (Part No: AS27222) is a critical safety accessory for multi-cell LiPo charging. Designed to work with chargers that use a standard 6S JST-XH balance port, this board provides a secure and organized interface to balance the individual cells of your batteries, ensuring each cell reaches the exact same voltage ($4.20V$ for standard LiPo) for maximum performance and lifespan.
Key Features:
- Multi-Cell Support: Includes dedicated ports for 2S, 3S, 4S, 5S, and 6S LiPo, LiFe, and Li-ion battery packs.
- Industry Standard XH Ports: Uses the JST-XH connector format, which is the most common balance plug found on brands like Reedy, Spektrum, Gens Ace, and many others.
- Durable PCB Construction: Mounted on a rigid fiberglass board with reinforced solder points to withstand the frequent plugging and unplugging common in trackside environments.
- Removable Interface Cable: Features a high-quality ribbon cable that connects the board to the charger, allowing for flexibility in your pit layout and easy replacement if the cable becomes frayed.

Setup & Safety Tip:
Proper sequencing is key to avoiding sparks. Pro-Tip: Always connect the main high-current discharge lead (e.g., Deans or XT60) to the charger before plugging the balance lead into this board. When finished, disconnect the balance lead first. This prevents accidental shorts if the balance pins touch a conductive surface while the main leads are still live.
Warning: Never plug two batteries into the balance board at the same time. These boards are designed for serial balancing of a single pack. Attempting to balance two packs simultaneously can result in a "short circuit loop" that may melt the board's traces or damage your charger.
