8s balance extension cables JST-XH

[Samd]

Hello,
I recently build a battery pack from three seperate turnigy 8s 5.8Ah batts. But due to the shape my balance leads are hard to reach!

I can't find any 8s extension leads. Have found 9 pos JST-XH male plugs online, but not female (trying to make my own if I can't get them made). Any ideas out there?

how's that look ?

newegg is a good company I buy things from them all the time.

Few more random 8s splitters.. pretty cool did not realize they carried such things.

Progressive Rc looks good - only $5 postage.

Newegg looked good, but discovered they "don't do international postage at this time".

Could just cut the wires, and splice in the extra length you need.

I often bring the balancing leads out of a battery case using cheapie radioshack terminal blocks.

That lets me add a connector, lengthen lines, voltage test low cells, balance charge low cells, pop the cell log on there, and any other maintenance i want to do.

Really handy once you've got it on there.
