MultiPro Intelligent Balance Charger Does it charge off the wall or car batt or does it work off both thanks

Yeah i have the same question?

You have to buy the adaptor to run it on 120ac.

Part number?

Currently the LOSB9606 charger must be attached to a 12V 5A minimum power supply. We plan to soon offer an AC adapter that will allow you to plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.

Is there a AC adapter for the LOSB9606 yet?
How about a temperature sensor?

I am new at this forum and to LOSI and as such might not fully understand everything.

I assumed the MultiPro Intelligent Balance Charger could be used with all LOSI Batteries e.g. LOSB9861 (7.4V 5000mAh 2 cell) but I found the balance connector on the battery cannot (easily) be connected to the small black balance board where it say 2S as the adapter on the battery is a 3 pin while the connector on the adapter is a 4 pin. With force the plug can be set either from left or from right leaving one pin open, but due to the force needed to insert I feel the battery connector will sooner or later break and which 3 pins to be used?
I assume the first 3 from top when you hold the board with the connector to the charger on your left - or?

See attached picture.

Am I the only one with this problem?!

I found the RED & BLACK cable that came together with the MultiPro Int Charger to connect the battery and the charger had the RED & BLACK wires swapped in the Blue connector! Not a big issue as the banana plugs can be reversed, but...

See attached picture...

Any one know the typical value under Charged Capacity to be read on the display after full charge cycle of the LOSB9861 battery? I seen only 1600...

Thanks Steen

:confused: Why would losi release something and not be able to provide a power source for it? Or a suitable replacement. I have this charger and I have been looking every where for a power source. Hopefully some one will figure something out real soon.

Elton, I agree with you.
I ordered a car, battery pack and the balance "charger" to bring overseas as Christmas gift for son, big surprise when sitting 1000s of miles from US to find out that the Balance "charger" comes without an adapter. This should have been stated much more clear at the ordering page, so lesson for me do not do online ordering, but use telephone.
I am now more disappointed over the quality than expressed in my previous post, as now I also found the wires that connects the ESC to the Battery got the wires from the ESC to the Motor run in-between them resulting in limited movement and routing where the battery cable is forced to run right over the ESC fan...
For adapter I found I had an charger that can deliver 16VDC / 4A not too sure if that is the better solution, but at least now I can charge the battery. I seen at Horizon Hobby some adapters giving 10 to 15A at 12 to 18VDC, so maybe one needs one like that? As the specs for the Balance Charger does not really say...

Yeah it would be nice if some one could even tell you what power supply is supposed to be used. all they give you is some vague guidelines. Very disappointed

12 volt dc 5 or more amps is what is needed (12V5a). It may work on more than 12 volt but i do not know that. hope this helps

12 volt 30 amp would also work is what i am trying to say
