Charge Ends

[PiErow]

Ok i bought a Team Orion Advantage charger, i was looking around and all the higher end charger have the "pinchy" conectors to conect to the battery. On my Super Brain 969 there were banana plugs that you pluged into it. Can i change the picnhy plug to a deans? Or do the make demal banana plugs?

by the pinchy connectors do you mean alligator clip's?

A servo wire extension that I cut the end off and soldered on to a different wire.

I have a h'billy rigged charger and battery packs. I used servo extensions to make the leads on the batteries and the lead on the charger wire. Cheap and have lasted me a couple years so far.

I like having clips on the end, It make it easy to adapt the charger to any battery you want to charge up.
Just get the proper connector style for each battery type you have and use the clips to attach to the ends. If you change the charger ends you limit yourself to what you can charge.

The other alternative is to use a deans and make a pigtail with all the different plug ends on it. Doing this can be convieniant but raises the resistance with so may wires all soldered together.

5-cell: 5 AA 2000Mah NiMH batteries.
