Oh diddlydumdum me! I've bought two halfes of ONE battery!

I just checked youtube and these are twin saddle packs single cell batteries that go in series! (each gives only 3,6V!)

NNNGHHHH!

.. I've returned them to the seller.

Saddle pack that's interesting. It's the first time I see one in lipo.
Why did you returne it so fast?

268grs for this 2000mah nimh.

Hows that didn't you make one for your Orlandoo?

not yet. I have to put my hand on my bec connectors in my bedroom mess. And can I charge them without blance wire? On my B6 charger? I am scared by that.

If you make a Y connector you can still charge both Lipo separately.

Yes I learned some topics on coupling lipos. That is dangerous. I will try with a y and jst bec connectors.

But I have a problem now. Look what wires I got with it. How will I charge it??
Am I suppose to bridge the + and - in the middle, with that black cable in the middle? I didn't get any diagram or picture with it.

White connector is the balance plug (for balance charging), plugging in as per by diagram , you'll also need to fit a plug to the unterminated ends, choice is up to you:
- Deans (aka T-plug);
- Anderson Power Poles;
- 7.2v Tamiya plug;
- 6v Tamiya plug (aka Graupner plug);
- 4mm bananas
- XT60
... possibly missed some there, IIRC Traxxas & Corally have their own propietory plugs too... my preference is XT60 for Lipo, Powerpoles for NimH,

Thank you guys for your info, and thanks Jonny for the illustration.

It took me a while to realize, but this is just me being too hasty. I should have done some more research before buying this double-battery. I have absolutely now use for it, that's why I returned it. Return shipping costed me about half the battery price. Well, you learn new things every day, don't we.
