UP120AC Duo Dual 2 Port - Question re: Bal Board

[byhead]

I have the Ty H. Just ordered this charger from amazoodle.
Could be here sunday. 5-21-17 ($93)
I also got the yun "H" battery charging jack, actually two of them. ($20ea)
My question is, do i also NEED the balance boards, as depicted
in the manual for the charger, OR does it come with them?
OR, will the balancing cord FIT the charger balance input port?
Anybody have one of these units?

Note: Charging my 5700 mah batteries at 5.7 amps is ONE C.
I do not know the ampere output of the H factory charger, Anyone?
(Could be as slow as 3 amps, which is the reason for two hour time to charge.)

We are indeed living in amazing times!
Imagine, for less than a thousand dollar bill, one can possess
a Four-K Flying video Camera rig! Oh My!

Note to newbies: I read the factory manual when I got my "H".
I watched the u tuber's video instructions for a whole week before
I launched in my back yard. BUT, now hear this: I was not informed
or understood the "Safety Circle" in SMART mode of 26 footsies.
So it took off and hit my neighbors house! Sheesh! But it hit
softly and only broke one B blade. I was lucky.

Thank you to all the gents who post here on this forum.
These are extremely complicated computerized flying machines
and as pilots, and photographers, we surely need all the
help we can get! Kudo's to all! And Thanks so much.

I always stay back about 30' from the H when launching regardless of the mode. It has saved me a couple of times when I had bumped the switch when handling the ST16. Another thing to remember about Smart mode........if you move so will the H. If you are hovering to close to an object and then walk in that direction, the H will fly right into it.

Appears to be 4.5A or so.

You don't need the boards, etc. that come with the charger. Get one (or two) of these adapter cables (pic), and put the charger in Balance LIPO charge (4S).

If you use both A and B sides, max charge on 2 batteries together will disappoint you, with 120vac. I use only one side, set it to 100%, and set the rate at 5 or 6A. Then I use the stock charger for another battery.

Thanx. are the H batteries LIPO or LI-ION?
