Hi Christian,
I've opted for this battery for my 9X Tx as well. I actually ordered 2 (to be sure, to be sure)
. So i can obviously use the lead that came with the standard 4 x 4 AA battery holder for one of the LiFe batteries, but i'd like to make the mod to the second battery as well. I've been hunting around on HK's site for a suitable repleacement lead but without luck. Do you know where i can get one to match the connector in the 9x?
Second question - do you charge via the same 3 wire balance connector or do you charge via the servo lead? I'm figuring i'll have to wire up something to allow the battery to be charged via my accucell-6. What is typical practice here? I would assume it's safest to disconnect from the Tx prior to charging or is this unnecessary?
Thanks
Peter
