Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Li-Po Confusion

The Phoenix Reborn · February 1st, 2018, 20:49

Hello again everyone, and apologies in advance for my general battery-ignorance here as I only recently started jumping onto the Li-Po bandwagon.

I have an 11.1V Li-Po battery from Valken and an IMAX B6 charger. I was about to charge the battery, when all of a sudden I got a "Reverse Polarity" warning so I immediately stopped the charging process.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that for the red blue banana clip cable adapter and the battery's cable have the wires going into different sockets. Red goes into black and black goes into red (Image attached. The battery is on the left) - So figured I'd ask for some clarity on this.

Which one of these are wrong? Am I using the wrong adapter cable? Is there a way to fix this without having to go out and find a new cable / Li-Po (E.g. Going to the IMAX B6 and just swapping the red / black banana clips on the plug? Not sure of the safety implications of doing this)

Thanks in advance!
