There are two sets of cables so that the user has the option of using either 
Power Poles, or their 110-220 volt charger. I asked them about the cables and 
was told they are simply connected in parallel. You can use which ever is 
convenient for you.

I agree Kev. My bienno has powerpole for load, coaxial for charge (12.6 vdc). I 
don't think the coaxial should/could be used for load.Ken ke4rg

I don't know... are you sure the cables just connect in parallel? Maybe
simple enough to check with an ohmmeter but here's what I see on their site
for this battery:

Charge Connector: DC Plug
Discharge Connector:  Anderson Powerpole

This tells me each connector has a different purpose. In fact, considering
the electronics built into their batteries and the individual cells it kind
of makes sense to me that one cable is a gozinta and the other's a gozouta.
I've always charged with the barrel and discharged with the power poles.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Bioennopower LiFePO4 teardown?

[James Bennett]

Yep, I am sure. Ive charged mine with both (not at the same time). And I 
exchanged email with them about it. They are one in the same.
