Product Overview
Ensure safe charging and accurate voltage monitoring for your LiPo batteries with our premium XH2.54 Balance Connector Cables. These essential cables feature genuine XH2.54 connectors on one end and individual stranded wires on the other, crafted with ultra-flexible 22AWG silicone insulation wire. Whether you're building custom battery packs, replacing damaged balance leads, or creating parallel charging boards, our cables provide reliable, high-quality connections for 2S to 9S battery configurations.
Made to exact specifications with proper pin spacing and polarity, these cables prevent dangerous charging mistakes and ensure each cell in your battery pack stays balanced.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ PROPER POLARITY & PINOUT: Correctly pinned from factory with standard JST-XH 2.54mm spacing. Red wire = positive (pin 1), black wire = negative (last pin), with numbered sequence in between.
✅ FLEXIBLE SILICONE WIRES: 22AWG high-strand-count silicone wire remains flexible in extreme temperatures (-60°C to +200°C). Won't crack or stiffen like PVC wire.
✅ GOLD-PLATED CONTACTS: Improved conductivity and corrosion resistance for accurate voltage readings and minimal voltage drop.
✅ PRE-CRIMPED & TESTED: Each pin is professionally crimped to ensure secure connections. Cables are continuity-tested before shipping.
✅ COMPLETE RANGE: Available for 2S (3-pin) through 9S (10-pin) configurations to match any LiPo/Li-ion battery pack.
✅ SAFETY FIRST: Properly insulated pins prevent accidental short circuits during handling. Essential for safe parallel charging setups.

XH2.54 balance cables are essential for:
LiPo Battery Charging: Connecting to balance chargers for individual cell monitoring and charging
Battery Maintenance & Storage: Maintaining proper cell voltage during storage periods
Parallel Charging Boards: Creating custom parallel charging setups for multiple batteries
Battery Pack Building: Wiring balance leads when assembling custom LiPo/Li-ion packs
Voltage Monitoring: Connecting to battery checkers, cell loggers, or telemetry systems
Power Distribution: Some PDBs and flight controllers use balance ports for voltage monitoring
Battery Repair: Replacing damaged or worn balance connectors on existing batteries
Understanding Balance Connectors
Why XH2.54?
The JST-XH 2.54mm connector is the industry standard for RC LiPo battery balance ports. The 2.54mm refers to the pin spacing. Each pin connects to a cell's positive terminal, allowing your charger to monitor and balance individual cell voltages.How to Identify Your Needs:
2S = 3 wires (for 2-cell batteries)
3S = 4 wires (for 3-cell batteries)
4S = 5 wires (for 4-cell batteries)
And so on... The number of pins = cell count + 1
Color Coding Standard
Our cables follow the common RC color sequence:
Pin 1 (Battery +): Red wire
Intermediate pins: Various colors (typically yellow, green, blue, etc.)
Last pin (Battery -): Black wire
This standardization helps prevent connection errors that could damage your equipment.
Package Includes
1x XH2.54 Balance Cable in your selected cell count (2S-9S)
Optional: Bare XH2.54 connectors (male/female) for DIY projects
Safety & Usage Tips
Always verify polarity before connecting to any device
Never force connectors – they should slide together smoothly
Keep balance ports clean from dirt and debris
Inspect cables regularly for wear, especially at stress points
Use proper balance adapters when charging different cell counts
Store cables neatly to prevent tangling and wire damage
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use these for charging?
A: Yes! These are specifically made for connecting LiPo batteries to balance chargers. They allow your charger to monitor and balance each cell individually.Q: What's the difference between XH2.54 and PH2.0 connectors?
A: XH2.54 has 2.54mm pin spacing and is used for balance leads. PH2.0 has 2.0mm spacing and is typically used for smaller battery discharge connectors.Q: Can I get custom wire lengths?
A: Yes, we offer custom length cables. Contact us with your requirements for pricing.Q: Are these compatible with my battery checker/voltage alarm?
A: If your device uses standard XH2.54 balance ports (which most do), then yes, these cables will work perfectly.Q: Why silicone wire instead of regular wire?
A: Silicone wire is more flexible, heat-resistant, and durable. It won't melt when accidentally touched by a soldering iron and remains flexible in cold weather.Why Choose Our Balance Cables?
