Safety lanyard to effectively lock out/tag out a system? goes between battery positive and input, so with it pulled you can be sure it won't fire up with your fingers in the mechanism, if for some reason removing the battery isn't a good option?
 
Solder up a bunch of female connectors and use to put ur lipos on a key chain to hang off ur belt loop. Be a real time saver at the bash spot!! No more back and fourth to the truck or car for another battery..

Jumper to loop the other side if your only using 1 battery in which an esc has 2 plugs to run 2 batteries in a series? (Or parallel)

Series=double the voltage
Parallel= double the mah / run time?

That would require a female plug

To finish killing a LiPo after forgetting to put your LiPo alarm on it during high amp discharge testing 😉

No fair, you already know the answer :p


As WF stated, I use this as the last stage in a 3 stage process to completely drain a LiPo to make the cells inert so they can be safely disposed of.

To be fair, I was confused what you use it for at first too, because my old timers was active and I forgot about you mentioning that. But I did eventually remember. Pretty cool trick 😉

Too many stages. :p 😆
I like one stage Ron Popeil style... "Set it and forget it."
