I am in need of some more info once again.

I asked awhile back about chargers and I came to the conclusion that I wanted the Triton2, but what I need to know now is would it be worth it to go with a charger balancer combo, or a Triton and then buy a balancer such as the astro flight blinky.

Right now am going to use this charger for Receiver batterys and this lipo battery: http://www.helidirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=31_377&products_id=2108
So with that battery will the astro flight blinky work to balance?

And lastly is it advised to put deans on batteries for a Blade CX2?

It's all so confusing, If I need to clarify what I mean let me know!
Thanks for your help!

Ok, I was asking about the Charger/Balancer combo more for my brother In-law but I think he decided on the charger he wants.

I'm still going to get the Triton2, but I still would like to know if I can balanceThis battery with the astro flight or will I need adapters?
And should I solder on some deans or just use the plug that is on it?
I am taking mental notes of every thing here, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right the first time.
I appreciate the help!

Run the JST connector that is already on the pack, the amp draw is so low there is no need for a deans connector which will just add weight.

With regards to balancing, do you still have the stock eflite charger that came with your CX? That charger balances while it charges so no need to purchase a separate balancer.

The blinky balancer will work with the e-flite tap. Line up the negative pin to the black wire.

I haven't made my order for my CX2 yet, I'm planning on a February or so.
I would be fine with the EFlite charger, but it really is past my time to order a decent charger any ways.
I'll need one for when I go lipo on my ground rigs eventually anyways.
Thank you very much for clearing this all up!
