Can this charger charge by connecting only the balancing connector as my old Cellpro does?

No, the balance connector does not charge. You need both connectors attached to charge.

Sorry, I still have the original charger. I suggest you check with Ematic. Good luck

Depends on the charger. I suggest on this small of a battery to buy a simpler balance port type charger. Meaning it charges using only the balance port, for example here is a link to one Bastens 30 Watt LiPo / Li-ion Battery Balance Charger - 2 3 or 4 cell batteries - great Parrot AR.Drone 1.0 OEM replacement charger - excellent Traxxas Losi Axial LiPo alternative charger option

If you always set the charger to Balance Charge (which I suggest) there's no issue. But regardless, the charger is set to 4S 14.8 when you charge 2 2S lips, so no worries

Yes, you can. The problem is if you're asking the question, you shouldn't. I have contacted Shorai technical and they actually recommended to me a programmable Li battery charger the R/C folks use once they knew I knew what I was talking about. I, of course, believe my charger is better and have programmed it. THe hard part is determining the balance connector they use, which is NOT proprietary. I use a Cellpro from Revolectrix. I will look up the connector when I get home. The Shorai connectors change the wire harness from 5 wire to 7 wire for some unknown reason. Other than, perhaps, to force people into using their charger.

Yes it appears that way I am using charger with the connector that came with my up24

Yes. All you need is the e-flite A700UM Charger Plug Adapter EFL. This will plug into your charger, the battery and the balance board.

it is a balance charger but if you have a cell that became discharged below minimal voltage then its not going to fix that. However if the battery just got discharged unevenly somehow, it may recharge it to full capacity. I am guessing that the battery developed a short and is probably defective, but trying another charger may fix it (if it was not discharged too far). Just be extra careful when trying to charge that battery and monitor it. Hope this helps you to decide what to do! It is a good little charger for the money!

The charger comes with a balance connector circuit board (external) that will take your 3S balance cable. The charger also comes with a set of jumper cables that connect to your car battery as well as another set with stripped ends that you can easily solder a EC3 connector. You need to connect the balance connector to the circuit board and the EC3 to the stripped cable. I ended up purchasing a more advanced balanced parallel charging board circuit board from HobbyKing for $6 and that allowed me connect my EC3 batteries directly to the X1.

No not by itself. It has a usb port so only if you have a splitter would you be able to charge to phones.

it does. I've only used the balance charge so far tho. works well, but watch the you tube video

Mine did, not a very good charger weird connection. Very good phone for an old phone.

No, not with this technology. This charger is designed specifically for the job, and does it magnificently. I've been very happy with my Shorai set up and will never switch back. Hope this helps.

If you have a Tamiya plug your fine. If you have any other plug you will need an adapter. The charger does come with balance board though.

Not sure, I got it to be a new cord for my Wacom tablet to replace the old one. Now on the other hand my phone uses the same connector and it does work as a charging connector too (but my cell is pretty low end). So maybe yes to be honest...

Did you look at the back where the connections are? As long as they match, it should charge. I have used several cradle chargers, even from old phones.

If the coupler is connected in some way to a USB charger, then yes. If you are looking to "plug" it in somehow, then no. It's completely based on the USB method of charging.
