Hi Jeff! Nice to see you on the Elecraft board. I have one question about the Turnigy Accucel 6 Balance Charger. I note that it can charge LiPos. Does it have the standard modular connector for LiPo batteries? This is usually located on the side of most LiPo chargers that I'm aware of. I couldn't find a side view.
