    I am waiting on that same battery. Been looking the last couple weeks, ever since Grey tested their batteries, and it has been out of stock. It would be nice if you could just order a specific battery, then add your connector, just like SMC does on their site.

    No, I can see colors. I just prefer the XT60. I have a slew of XT60 connectors. I like to keep things simple as well. XT60's and EC5's for everything.

    I make my own connectors. I just never liked bullets. Dunno why. Probably because I am too lazy to plug in two wires instead of one 😜

    I love the XT60's personally.

    I have had 3 or 4 chargers like this and only just thought of this a few months ago 😜

    It's the exact same way the balance ports are on my chargers, just with an extension cable. It's just the cable doesn't have the idiot proof numbers and negative cable location marked on it.

    I use only a 6s cable with the little tab hacked off so I can plug any lipo 6s and under into it.

    Yeah, as Grey said. You go by the pins. I have seen at least two listings in the past year or so that had the connectors listed wrong. As far as connector brand, I buy Amass everything. They use a lot better plastic that doesn't melt as easily as the elcheaposwhen you solder on them. I never...

    I have seen this wrong in some descriptions for the connectors. So it is best to pay attention to pictures as well to make sure a male plug is actually a male plug. It seems some sellers look at the connector vs looking at the pins inside the connector to describe what they are selling. It's...

    I couldn't find the size bullets that PSU has, but assumed they were 4mm. Was just searching for it and not having any luck. I assume that is the standard, but was trying to verify.

    Sorry. Link fixed. The purpose of it is like I said, some batteries have very short balance leads. So short you cannot get them plugged into the charger very well. The extension cable makes things easier to plug and unplug, and saves the port on your charger from wear and tear from plugging...

    He has actually decided on the Losi Tenacity and a 3S which was mentioned on the last page. Lot if stuff to read in this thread, but I think he is on the right track with vehicles. It should be a fun rig for sure.

    THESE are the connectors I buy. You already get a cable with that charger with an XT plug, and you can see in the pic if you look closely, the other end of the cable is bare wire to connect to a PSU or battery connector of your choice. I would also grab some Amass brand XT60's HERE if you plan...

    I would probably go with a higher C rating than 35C for a 4wd buggy or truck type RC. 35C is more in the crawler rate of discharge. As for cables, that charger comes with a lead with the XT connector to plug them into the charger, you just need an EC5 connector to solder onto the other end to...
