FMA Wiring mode vs. XH/EH Wiring mode
By default, the Dual PowerLab 8x2 ships with the balance connector (output) set for
FMA’s Cellpro wiring. This wiring mode supports all Cellpro REVOLECTRIX brand
batteries and adapters directly. However, due to the proliferation of the JST XH/EH
balance connectors available on many LiPo battery packs in the R/C industry, the Dual
PowerLab also supports the popular XH/EH Wiring mode for the balance connector. In
the FMA Wiring mode, the Dual PowerLab 8x2 always expects pack + on pin 9 of the
PowerLab’s balance port on the front of the unit. When switched to XH/EH mode, the
PowerLab will look for pack + on the last wire connected to the battery pack without any
empty pins in between.
If you already own XH/EH adapters that came with another brand of charger, for
example, it’s easy to modify these to plug into the PowerLab’s balance port by cutting
the adapter’s existing balance plug off and replacing it with the Cellpro 9 position battery
pigtail (REVO PN: CPBP9P-10-US). See illustrations on the following pages.
Then, set the Dual PowerLab 8x2 to XH/EH mode using one of the following methods:
