ISDT makes some of the few LIPO chargers (that I have found) that support up to 8 cells in series. I acquired on of their Q8 models some time ago but have be unable to put it to any use because they use a proprietary 9 pin connector housing specifically designed to stop anyone from inserting a standard JST-XH connector. There are NO adapter cables and one can not purchase a mating connector. There is a 'tear down video' of the Q8 on you tube:

What this video revealed is that the bottom portion of the connector housing is part of the Q8's outer shell. I took the charger apart and used a utility knife to carve out the proprietary bottom portion of the connector housing. Now I can plug in standard JST-XH balance leads ... happy days are here again :D
