Key Features
- 4mm Gold-Plated Connectors — The main charge connectors feature premium gold plating, which ensures excellent electrical conductivity and minimises voltage drop during charging, resulting in faster and more efficient battery charging cycles for your RC equipment.
- 2mm Gold Balance Connector — The balance lead connector uses 2mm gold-plated contacts, providing a secure and reliable connection to your battery's balance tap, which is essential for maintaining cell balance and maximising battery lifespan during each charge.
- 22AWG Wire Gauge — The 22AWG wire specification delivers adequate current capacity for safe and efficient charging of 2S (7.4V) battery packs, with minimal voltage loss over the 300mm length of the lead.
- 300mm Length — The compact 300mm cable length provides sufficient reach for comfortable workspace positioning and battery connection, without excess cable that could create clutter on your charging bench.
- Orion/Trak Power to JST Compatibility — This adapter bridges the gap between Orion or Trak Power-style balance plugs and standard JST balance connectors, eliminating the need to purchase multiple chargers or balance boards to accommodate different battery formats.
- Logic RC Quality — As a Logic RC product, this charge lead is manufactured to consistent quality standards and is stocked by authorised UK retailers like RC Model Shop, ensuring you receive a genuine product with full compatibility guarantees.
Technical Performance
The LOGIC Charge Lead: 4mm~4mm Gold (2mm Gold Balance) 22AWG 300mm represents reliable engineering for RC battery charging applications. The dual gold-plated connector system—featuring 4mm main connectors and 2mm balance connectors—ensures minimal electrical resistance throughout the charging process, which is critical for safe and efficient LiPo and battery charging. The 22AWG wire gauge has been selected to provide adequate current capacity for 2S (7.4V) battery packs whilst maintaining a lightweight and flexible cable that won't add unnecessary bulk to your charging setup. The 300mm total length strikes a practical balance between reach and cable management, allowing you to position batteries comfortably on your charging bench without excessive wire trailing across your workspace. This charge lead is specifically designed to adapt Orion and Trak Power balance connector formats to the industry-standard JST balance connector found on most modern hobby chargers and standalone balance boards. Whether you're charging small 2S LiPo packs for RC quadcopters and drones, mid-size batteries for 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars and buggies, or batteries for RC aircraft and helicopters, this adapter provides the bridge you need between different charging ecosystems. The gold plating on both main and balance connectors resists oxidation and corrosion, maintaining clean electrical contacts even after repeated connect-disconnect cycles, which is essential for the longevity of both your batteries and charging equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What battery packs is this Logic RC charge lead compatible with? — This charge lead is specifically designed for 2S (7.4V) battery packs that feature an Orion or Trak Power-style balance connector. It adapts these packs to chargers and balance boards equipped with a standard JST balance port, making it an excellent choice for RC car enthusiasts, drone pilots, and aircraft flyers who work with multiple battery brands.
- Will this charge lead work with my existing RC charger? — This adapter will work with any RC charger or balance board that has a standard JST balance connector port. The 4mm main connectors allow it to connect to most modern hobby-grade chargers used for LiPo and battery charging across the UK RC community.
- Is this suitable for fast charging my RC batteries? — The 22AWG wire gauge is adequate for standard and moderate charging rates on 2S (7.4V) packs. For extremely high-rate fast charging applications, you may want to consult the specifications of both your charger and battery to ensure compatibility, but for typical RC hobby use this lead performs reliably.
- What makes gold-plated connectors better than standard connectors? — Gold plating provides superior electrical conductivity compared to bare copper or tin-plated connectors, resulting in lower electrical resistance, reduced voltage drop during charging, and improved reliability over many charge cycles. Gold also resists oxidation and corrosion, keeping your connectors clean and functional for years of RC use.
- Can I use this lead with my RC car, quadcopter and aircraft batteries? — Yes, provided all your 2S (7.4V) batteries use Orion or Trak Power-style balance connectors and your charger or balance board has a JST balance port, this single adapter can serve your entire RC fleet across cars, aircraft, helicopters, quadcopters and other applications.
- Is the 300mm cable length long enough for my charging bench? — The 300mm (approximately 12 inches) length is designed as a practical balance between reach and cable management. It provides sufficient distance to comfortably position your battery away from your charger whilst keeping your bench tidy. If you require a longer lead, Logic RC stocks various other charge lead options.
