Overview
The Corally Charge/Balance Lead is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts across the UK who want to streamline their charging setup and eliminate cable clutter. This innovative combo lead brilliantly combines both the charger lead and balancer lead into one neat, organised package, wrapped in a protective flexible braided sleeve. Whether you're running a 2S LiPo battery in your RC car UK setup or managing multiple batteries for weekend bashing sessions, this single lead eliminates the frustration of juggling separate cables and connectors. Team Corally has engineered this solution specifically for hobbyists who value organisation, safety and convenience.
Designed for 2S battery systems, this charge/balance lead is perfect for a wide range of ready to run RC models and custom builds. The combination approach means you no longer need to switch between different leads or deal with tangled wires in your RC pit box. The braided sleeve construction not only looks professional but also provides protection against accidental damage, abrasion and wear during regular use and transport. This is the kind of thoughtful product design that separates professional-grade accessories from basic alternatives.
If you're serious about your RC hobby in the UK, whether you're competing at your local track, bashing in the park or maintaining a fleet of models at home, the Corally Charge/Balance Lead represents a smart investment in your charging infrastructure. It's compact, durable, and designed to last through countless charging cycles.
Key Features
- Combined Charge and Balance Lead in One — Team Corally has merged both functions into a single lead, eliminating the need to swap cables between your charger and battery, saving time and reducing cable management headaches in your RC workshop.
- 14 AWG Ultra V+ Silicone Wire for Charge Lead — The main charge lead uses premium 14 AWG flexible silicone wire, which provides excellent current handling capacity, flexibility and durability for reliable high-current charging without heat buildup or voltage drop.
- 22 AWG Flexible Silicone Wire for Balance Lead — The balancer lead incorporates 22 AWG silicone wire, which is appropriately sized for the lower-current balance charging function whilst maintaining flexibility and ease of use.
- Protective Braided Sleeve — All wiring is bundled together in a flexible braided sleeve that protects the cables from damage, prevents tangling, and creates a neat, professional appearance that will last through years of regular use.
- 2S XH Balance Connector — The balance connector uses the reliable 2S XH standard, which provides secure connection to your battery's balance port and is widely compatible with most 2S LiPo batteries and modern chargers.
- 4mm Gold Banana Connectors for Power — Both the charger side and battery side feature high-quality 4mm gold banana connectors that ensure excellent electrical contact, minimal resistance and reliable power transfer during charging cycles.
- 30cm Total Length — At 30 centimetres, this lead is the ideal length for reaching from your charger to your battery without excess cable, perfect for benchtop charging stations or portable RC pit setups.
- Single Piece Design — Each pack contains one complete charge/balance lead assembly, ready to use straight out of the box with no assembly required.
Technical Performance
The Corally Charge/Balance Lead C-50289 represents excellent engineering for managing 2S LiPo battery charging in your RC collection. The use of 14 AWG Ultra V+ silicone wire on the charge lead ensures this cable can safely handle the current demands of modern fast-charging, whether you're using a high-power charger for rapid top-ups or a trickle charger for maintenance charging. The silicone insulation provides superior flexibility compared to standard PVC, meaning the cable won't become brittle or crack even after repeated bending and coiling. The gold-plated 4mm banana connectors on both ends ensure minimal contact resistance, which translates to lower heat generation and more efficient energy transfer to your battery. The 22 AWG balancer lead is perfectly proportioned for its task, carrying only the small currents needed for cell balancing without adding unnecessary bulk. The braided sleeve construction is not merely decorative—it serves genuine protective purposes, shielding the internal wires from abrasion against pit box edges, tool marks and everyday handling damage that can compromise insulation over time. This is the kind of attention to detail that makes Team Corally products trusted by serious RC hobbyists throughout the UK and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this charge/balance lead compatible with my 2S LiPo battery? — Yes, this lead is specifically designed for 2S battery systems. The 2S XH balance connector will fit any standard 2S LiPo battery with an XH balance port, and the 4mm banana connectors connect to any charger with matching 4mm ports, making it highly compatible across most modern RC charging setups in the UK.
- What makes this better than using separate charge and balance leads? — This combined lead eliminates cable clutter, reduces the number of connectors you need to manage, and saves time by eliminating the need to switch between separate leads. The braided sleeve keeps everything organised and protected, giving your RC pit box a more professional appearance whilst reducing the risk of cable damage.
- Can I use this with fast chargers? — Absolutely. The 14 AWG Ultra V+ silicone wire used on the charge lead is specifically engineered to handle the higher currents associated with fast-charging systems, and the gold banana connectors ensure minimal resistance even at elevated charging currents.
- Will this work with my existing charger? — As long as your charger has 4mm banana connectors and a 2S XH balance port connector, this lead will work perfectly. The 4mm banana connectors are an industry standard for many modern chargers used in the RC hobby.
- How long is the cable? — The complete lead measures 30 centimetres in length, which is a practical size for most benchtop charging stations and portable RC pit setups, allowing you to position your battery comfortably without excess cable.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is an excellent accessory for beginners transitioning from ready to run RC models to more serious hobby-grade setups. It simplifies the charging process and reduces the chance of accidentally using the wrong connector type, making battery management safer and more straightforward.
- What is the difference between this and other Corally charge leads? — Team Corally produces several charge/balance lead variants designed for different battery cell counts (2S, 4S, 6S etc). This C-50289 model is specifically optimised for 2S systems, with the appropriate wire gauges and connector types matched to 2-cell battery requirements. Other models like the C-50281 and C-50283 are designed for different configurations.
