Description

The Lumenier ParaGuard PRO Parallel Charging Board offers the safest solution for parallel charging your LiPo batteries. Designed with multiple layers of protection, it ensures worry-free charging, giving you peace of mind with every connection. With advanced safety features and robust build quality, the ParaGuard PRO is your go-to choice for safe and efficient battery charging.

The ParaGuard PRO is a significant upgrade over the original version, featuring a sleek CNC-machined aluminum casing in an eye-catching black and silver finish. It also includes digital LED displays that show real-time voltage and amperage readouts, offering greater visibility into your charging process. Plus, the added dual USB ports provide even more charging flexibility, making the ParaGuard PRO the ultimate parallel charging board for your needs.

What does the Lumenier ParaGuard PRO protect against?

The ParaGuard PRO incorporates a series of protective features designed to prevent accidents and protect both your batteries and equipment:

  • Protects against different cell counts being plugged in together
    If you accidentally connect batteries with different cell counts, like a 3S and 4S, the self-resetting fuse bus will trip, protecting both the board and batteries from a high surge during connection. You can simply correct the mistake and resume charging.

  • Prevents incorrect balance cable connections
    If a balance cable is inserted incorrectly, a short circuit is prevented by the self-resetting fuse. Simply unplug and reconnect the cable properly, and charging can continue without issue.

  • Protects against power surges
    In the event of a high current surge, such as during a battery failure, the self-resetting fuses will protect your equipment from damage. This feature also safeguards against accidental connections of batteries with different voltages (like a 2S and 3S together, although this should never be done intentionally).

Safety is Key!

Parallel charging safety should always be a priority. Never leave a charging battery unattended, and always double-check the cell voltages of your batteries before connecting them in parallel. Ensure that the voltage difference between batteries is no more than 0.1V for safe charging.

Paraboard 6 port

"It works pretty good, it still slows down changes time but I guess I can’t complain it does it’s job in a very safe way."

— Ronald E. (4/5)

So good

"So good"

— Jonathan M. (5/5)

Works great

"Works perfect but some balancer cables are a little to short and you have to extend them."

— Steffen H. (4/5)

Looks High Tech

"Build quality and appearance is obviously a 10/10. The ergonomics of the board however... Most balance leads on batteries that I have are placed under a lot of strain due to the position of the balance lead inputs on the board. I had to remove the balance lead protectors on several of my LiPo's just to make them work at all with this board. The flickering is annoying but I do not stare at it constantly so not really that big of a deal. It is very usable though and I am not afraid of it being damaged while transporting it due to all of the connectors being flush-mounted. The single biggest issue with this board is that the it draw's from connected batteries to display pack voltage. Normally this is not an issue UNLESS you leave them connected to the board for a few hours after the charge cycle is completed. I nearly ruined several 1550mAh 4s packs by leaving them connected for too long. 2 cells in each pack were drawn to nearly 8V. I was able to rehab them using the fantastic ToolkitRC M6D charger and they seem to be fine, but that could have been a pretty expensive mistake to make. I still highly recommend this board despite it's flaws. The safety it affords is great and it looks awesome on the bench."

— Collin (3/5)

Good Product

"Very awesome product for me. Very convenient and easy to use."

— Muhammad B. (5/5)

Nice

"I feel safer charging my batteries now."

— Jim L. (5/5)

Solid

"This is a great alternative to other sketchy boards. I like that I know exactly how many C's any given battery is getting at one time."

— TOM S. (5/5)

Great product-even better customer service

"The board lasted one set of charges before it stopped working after a smell of electrical burning. They replaced it immediately no questions asked. Had the replacement within a couple of days. Process was efficient and easy."

— John H. (5/5)

Nice, with some flaws

"Very well made product, really like all of the safety features, but the Amp displays Flicker and are somewhat unreadable, also the USB ports are only powered by a Lipo Battery!…my battery wires are too short and are under strain, when plugged in, I have to lay the board on its side to relieve the strain on the Balance wires…."

— Joseph B. (4/5)

Nice features and great build quality

"+ Solid and good looking case + Amp meters on each battery is a good idea + Safe and secure - Cell 1 will show wrong IR values on charger. This is because cell 1 (-) is shared with charge lead (-) and board ground. Most balance boards keeps balance lead (-) and charge lead (-) seperate and IMO that is a better solution."

— Jan T. (3/5)

Q&A

Is there a clear correspondence between the XT60 and the balancing ports?
You can use any balance port for any XT60 Port when charging with this Parallel board.
Usually, I'm using the SkyRC D100 v2 balancer charger for two LiPo packs and it balances each cell per battery pack. Will ParaGuard works with my charger and does it balance each cell per battery pack?
Yes it will work. Make sure the voltages on each battery is close.
This work with the iSDT 608AC Smart Battery Charger AC 50W DC 200W 8A w/ Detachable Power Supply
Yes
I can't charge my batteries! I use another two simple parallel boards and everything is fine when I balance charge my batteries. With this board I follow the same steps and I can't get to charge them. My power supply show me an error that says: Cell Voltage Error After that I tried the same thing with my old traditional not safe parallel board and it works fine as always. What I'm doing wrong? I'm following the 0.1v rule per cell... Same cell batteries... Same mAh batteries... Etc! Help!!!
Start by plugging your batteries in at the top of the Paraguard, and go downward with the other batteries , mine does the same thing if I start by plugging into the middle of the board
Hi what are the dimensions of this board ?
.8 x 3.6 x 5.3 inches
How do you use the usb feature on the end of the unit?, Are they powered by a Lipo?
I do not know dear Joseph. I do not use this feature on the board I’m sorry. I wish I was better help.
