The reason I asked is the BNF T28 I got today has a charger with it that only has a plug for the balance port which made me stop and wonder why and if I was doing something wrong.
Yep the simple 2S 3S chargers use the Balancing lead to charge. While the HK charger will use the power leads to charge and the Balancing leads to keep each cell balanced. Much better.
Just keep the cheap charger Just incase the good one breaks down.. which is not uncommon.
