Changing the balance plug

[oldbugs]

So the 3S e-flite Lipo I use for my FPV set-up on my wraith is getting a little to puffy for my taste. I bought a new 3S thunder power lipo to replace it but I didn't realize until I was ready to charge it that the balance plug was different (smaller) than the e-flite lipo. Would it be okay to swap the balance plugs? The colors are different, the e-flite is red,blue,yellow,black and the TP is orange, blue,white,black. The outer two wires are power and ground correct? The two inner wires would be the individual cells? I'm going to try to post a pic.

Should be fairly straightforward. Just be careful not to short circuit anything.
My personal preferred solution would be to use an adapter cable instead. The smallish connector is an advantage for tucking it away when the battery is in use.

Any idea on what type of balance plug the smaller one is?

Can't help you there. I've never seen it before...

Well, my old lipo has a weak cell anyhow, so I'm just going to cut the plug off and swap it to the new one. Thanks!

It's a TP (Thunder power) type plug.
