I wonder if that will become a problem for 6-pins. Either way, it seems I can frakenstein together some stuff products form various manufacturerse to get what I want.
This was the problem- My LiPo charger uses proprietary balance tap connector that no other battery/charger manufacturers use. If I use another brand of battery, I have to use an adapter or replace the connectors on the battery pack. I don't want to use their adapters because they are seriously overpriced, ugly, and lack functionality.
The manufacturers of my charger also make it a pain in the ass to do anything with their connectors. They don't sell loose connectors- they only sell them preinstalled with open ended wires as a harness. It makes it so you can't simply take the adapter from another manufacturer, chop of the original connector and crimp their connector to the wires so you can use it with their charger. You have to either chop of the original adapter connector and wire splice, or desolder the original connector wire from the adapter and solder their harness on.
But there is the manufacturer of another charger that produces much cheaper and MUCH nicer adapters for their chargers. They also happen to sell loose connectors for their chargers and their adapter has a charger<->adapter cable that plugs into the adapter. So I'm going to take one of their loose connectors and connect install it onto the open ended connector-wire assembly of my charger. Then I have a nice neat splice-free, solder-free cable to go between the better adapter and my charger.
Yes, I don't like to splice wires if I don't have to. I don't like the way they look heatshrinked or not. And I'm not going to pay $15 for a cheaply made adapter when every other adapter out there is $5 of better quality. ANd if you don't sell your proprietary connectors as loose parts that makes it seem like you want to corner people looking for alternatives, especially people who aren't willing to open up the adapters or have wire splices all over their charger setup.
