Banana Plugs Quick question, just got my Lipo's today and they use banana plugs. Are these absolute garbage, or can I use them safely? If I need to switch to another plug, how do I go about it without cutting the wires, if thats possible? Also, the Thunder AC6 did not include a Deans charging connection. Where can I find one if I switch over to deans plugs? |
I would go with Deans plugs. Easier to deal with. Check the links below http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/Cus...er.aspx?mid=22 http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/Pro...ans-Plugs.aspx |
Can I remove the banana plugs from the lipo without cutting the wire? Id like to keep the wires as long as possible. |
Banana plugs, like from the home speaker world? |
He must mean bullets. Just cut them as close as you can. At most you will lose an 1/8" which isn't going to affect anything. |
add deans that way you do not accidently reverse the polarity. you can probaly even unsolder the plugs and resolder the wire to a deans plug losing zero length. |
AC6 doesn't come with deans. Cut one of the other adapters and solder on the deans. I cut the tamiya adapter. |
At first I thought you were referring to the tubes in the battery but I'm sure that you mean the bullet connectors on the battery like from Hobbyking. I actually like them on my 5S packs they are 5mm and in housings that prevent incorrect plug polarity. I just made a bullet to deans adapter to use with my charger. You can cut the bullets off the battery and replace them with a connector of your choice. |
I guess they are just bullets then. Im more familiar with the bullet types on motors, these were different looking to me. Batteries should receive the female deans plug correct? |

should I use the bullets that came with the ESC to connect to the motor or go with deans on that as well? |

If this is what you have, I would change them to Deans or some other better connection. Put the "female end" on the ESC so they are different from the battery connection & you don't mix them up!"thumbsup""thumbsup" |
