Why not phone FMA and ask your question of Howard or Tim: they will answer you quickly, with definitive responses.
I have 2 PL 8's, operating in the master/slave mode, and each is fitted with an MPA (though they can be "daisy-chained"), and I use only XH style batteries. The MPA is far superior in design and workmanship to any parallel board I have used to date. |

If you still need to support the batteries that you connected to the CP10S-TP/PQ6S, you might want to pick up the equivalent adapter for the PL8; either the standard one: http://www.usastore.revolectrix.com/...ho-Std-Adapter or one or more Safe Parallel versions, which can be daisy-chained so you can charge those packs in parallel: http://www.usastore.revolectrix.com/...rallel-Adapter If you have soldering skills, it would also be possible to convert a CP10S-TP/PQ6S adapter over to support PL8. If you're interested in this, let me know. I can tell you how to go about it. Hope this clears things up for you. Tim Marks |

Hi:
Check the attached photo. 1) Purchase Cellpro 9 position pigtail 2) Remove RJ1 from your 10s adapter PCB assy. 3) Install Cellpro 9 position pigtail as per the photo. |
