Yes it's a great tool but Hobby King also sells them, the only thing I find is the pins will only fit certain batteries, will have to make a harness or find out if they sell one.

Hi Larry,

There are several pin patterns out there, but fortunately for us there are only two that cover most batteries. Most of the meters come with the pin pattern for Hyperion type batteries (this covers most batteries in our E Hobby). If you use the excellent Thunder Power batteries then You can use the "Blinky" adapter, please see the link below:

The other thing you can do is use one of your charger balancer boards/adaptors. Here is a great link for these adaptors, excellent chargers and power supplies:

Your local hobby shop may carry the Blinky adaptor, and or adaptor boards. It might be in the Car section?

Here is a link that clearly shows which pin structure goes with which battery and also has the needed adaptors shown. The info is near the bottom of the page in the form of a table with photos:
