Wiring Harness for Balance Port

[npalen]

I'm wanting to power two small devices (voltage meter and headlight) using the balance connector on the 3S battery. Anyone know of a source for a wye or splitter harness? (Whatever it's called)

This one will work, but it splits in to 3 leads instead of 2: https://www.commonsenserc.com/product_i ... ts_id=2431

Just run the light off the Aux power wire instead,. same thing, less hooking up to do.
just use JST plugs, and perhaps add a small switch if you'd like.
then the voltage meter can have the balance port all to itself

That's what I had in mind. Thanks

Sounds like a good alternative but not sure where I find the Aux power wire. Is it lurking inside the shell unbeknownst?

It's a grey+red 2-strand cable that should be just peeking out one of the rubber grommets in the leg holes in the shell. It'll be a bare lead so you can add the connector of your choice...the JST style Gizmo recommends are the best for this application.

I see it! Thanks
