Battery connectors help
by wyetuck88 Fri 31 Aug 2012 - 12:49
Need some help, Got my battery and I am not sure how to connect to my esc
I got these connectors on my esc
Question is what connectors are those on the battery, and what connectors do I need
to solder onto the battery so that it can connect to my esc.
Thanks.

Those are basically banana connectors. Looks like 5mm, but hard to say from the photo. Do you have a link to the description in the shop you bought it from?
I recommend that you decide on one connector system and convert all your stuff to it. Decent ones are the "Deans" (T-shaped connector as on the Tamiya adapter) and XT60 (as HobbyKing is pushing on many of their batteries now).
I recommend that you do not use adapters, as each connection is a point of failure and power drop. Tamiya connectors are very old technology and they quickly degrade after a few times plugging in/out.
I can help you soldering Deans onto your ESC and Battery if you want (or any other connector if you supply materials).

Hi werner, heres the link http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=21006 The ones on my esc are deans connectors right?
I took the connector from you last sunday, I believe its dean connectors, I will be using dean throughout. Do you have a spare dean connectors to help me solder? else I can pay a bit.

Ok, it is "5.5mm Bullet-connector". They are available at local hobby shops.

No, you should cut off the bullet and convert to Deans.
Or cut off the Tamiya on the ESC and solder bullet connectors on.
Check your PM...
