Hi,
I just purchased a Spektrum smart charger (S 2100) and 2 - 4s 2200mAh smart lipos (SPMX22004s30). When I connect the lipos to the charger, it says that the balance lead is not detected. I have tried every orientation of plugging it in with the same message appearing each time. I also notice that when I plug the balance lead into a cell checker, the screen is blank. My bottom line question is: what is the purpose of the balance lead if I can't use it to charge on my smart charger, and can't use it to check the cells in the pack. I noticed that the G2 version of the same pack doesn't have a balance lead at all. This is my first attempt at using the smart technology, but I'm not new to electric power, so excuse me if I'm missing something simple.
Thanks!
