I am about to buy either theTurnigy Accucel-6 or theSKYRC B6AC V2 Charger.
Main use will be balance charge my home made battery packs, mainly 3s and 4s.
I guess I will need to also buy the balance leads with plugs one end and unterminated the other end,to attach to my batteries.
Any good ones or bad ones I need to look for?
I was trying to find these on Hobbyking's site but could not find them.
 
Most balance connectors are JST-XH. That should help you find what you are looking for.
 
Thanks. I searched that and the have the wire extensions terminated both sides. I guess I could cut the one plug off but that seems a waste.
Am I looking for something unusual?

Check out eBay. There are tons of them!

Its the 2.5 Version (that must be mm, 0.1 inch), there are different sizes.
You can use the 5 plug for both, just leave the upper wire unconnected for 3s. The lower pinning ist equal. Saves you from two different plug types.

Careful with the wire colours, red maybe ground. Or not. or sometimes. The suppliesrs do not care for the use.

You identify the ground by resistance between black of the main Terminals and for the right wire, as a short, check you finding against the operating instructions.
If you do that wrong, you blow up the unit, there ist no protection. And its not the unit which kills itself, its the attached battery which does it, and it is not generous...

So CAREFUL for the first time, until you have your circuit sheme.
