Here's a photo of battery cable and connectors
A Tamiya connector is already fitted to the shop bought green Ni-Mi 8.4v pack, replacement white plugs/sockets can be bought for about £1.60 a pair, I'm not sure what the maximum current is for these..thinking about it..the metal 'solder on' wire bits look good for maybe 15 amps, which is a worry..?
The red/black cable is 4 mm flexible silicon...maximum rating 80 amps, its similar to the green pack wire and is available in 1.5 - 2 - 3 mm for 15 - 50 amps.
The gold connectors are 4 mm to suit the cable, again these come in different sizes to suit the cable.......
What else can I mention ?...oh yes...the 8 cell 9.6v yellow Ni-Mi pack is split down from a 10 cell pack...12 volts, I need to connect the end again, I'll use the 4 mm cable, notice the thick black tube, its 3/16" petrol pipe, used to protect the exposed gold plug when not in use...a safety measure...these batteries can heat up and explode if shorted out...(sorry if I'm preaching here but I had to mention it ) we don't want any accidents, glow fuel silicon tube is also used for the same purpose.
Did I forget anything..?
Just seen the link from HS93, not seen those before…nice…I’ll order some, thanks for that sir
