Design is LackingReview by Raymond

The balance connector is on the wrong side of the heat shrink. It should come out on the side with the banana plugs, not the battery connectors. It ends up needing to be bent around, because both the banana plugs and the balance connector need to plug into the charger, but they're on opposite ends.

It was a simple fix of cutting the heat shrink, and re-soldering the bananas to go the other direction. Much easier layout to hook up and actually charge the batteries now. No bending-twisting of the harness.

Build quality was good, shipping was fast. Design was not optimal. It cost me $8, a bit of heat shrink, and time, but if that design flaw was corrected I would recommend it. Otherwise, you might as well buy the connectors and build it yourself.

ProgressiveRC Comment: Thank you for the detailed feedback - we agree. We will look to revise the design of this product and update the product image at that time. (Posted on 1/7/2017)

Now with larger gaugeReview by MIke

My old Parallel (6x) JST-PH Charge & Balance Cable burned out after a year of use. I believe because of the small gauge wire. I was very happy to see my new order had a much more appropriate gauge. I think this one will last.

works great with all my bl mcpx lipos shipping was good here in 5 days. only thing is that the wire coming from the bannana plugs should be a larger gauge. no issues at all but just something to think about for durability/high charge rates. great product 4.5 out of 5.

ProgressiveRC Comment: Thanks for your support and feedback. We will certainly take this into consideration as we make future product updates. (Posted on 1/17/2014)

Buy the balance boardReview by Dean

Don't buy this product! The leads are way to short. For two dollars more you can purchase the balance board.

ProgressiveRC Comment: Thank you for your feedback, we will certainly take it into consideration for future revisions. Most users have found the short length convenient, and more flexible than the balance board, but a little more room certainly couldn't hurt :). (Posted on 7/21/2013)

Great, but need bigger gauge!Review by Jonathan

Quality
Value
Service

This works great with my 306B, but I wish the main charge leads were bigger gauge. I can push 5C into my 130X packs which means 12+ amps if I charge six, but 12 amps heats the main leads up waaay too much; 6 amps is the most I can get without them getting uncomfortably warm.

Seems this could be remedied if the main leads terminated into the heat shrink where the battery connectors split out instead of in the JST balance plug. The gauge from the split to the UMX connectors can't be bigger as I understand, but that's not a problem, as at that point 12 amps gets split down to two amps x 6 (and pushing 12 amps into a 130 X or mcpx bl pack would cause the pack to catch fire in short order).

ProgressiveRC Comment: Thanks for your suggestion, we will certainly take it into consideration for future product revisions. I believe it's a nice improvement :). (Posted on 7/20/2013)

Great value and service, slightly concerned about durability.Review by Ron

The order was processed very quickly, and was at my door very quickly. My only concern is the overall durability I am to expect. I was expecting a bit more length on the parallel side of the harness, but with the batteries being charged this may not be an issue. Time will tell. (Posted on 6/10/2013)

blade 130x parallel charge cableReview by Chris

Service
Quality

The cable works very good, however the lead wires to the main charge unit are very short, a few inches. Because of this I had a difficult time prying off the plugs so I had to remove the cable + batteries from the unit to separate the batteries from the cable. It's very important to NOT let the black and red lead plugs come into contact with each other while batteries are still plugged-in. Needless to say the cable and 1 remaining battery got very hot, smoking in fact, but luckily no fire or damage to the battery. Otherwise it's a good product; it just needs more length on the lead plugs to allow more working space while removing the lipo batteries. (Posted on 5/14/2013)
