Hi, I have just purchased a B44.1 that came with some saddle pack batteries (ZIPPY Flightmax 5700mAh 2S3P 25C saddle pack), they use a 4mm Bullet-Connector.

I am using an ESC from my previous car that has just one deans connection, I have found this cord at HK (HXT-4mm Plug Harness for 2S Hardcase Saddle pack Lipoly Batteries).

If I change the deans connection on my car to a Bullet 4mm will that work? If so then how do i charge these batteries? Use the same cord just one battery at a time?

I did try to give URL's but i haven't posted enough threads to do so.

Cheers,

hi jdenit.. I would stay away from plugging and unplugging bullets..stay with deans..and no not 1 cell at a time..each cell is 4.2v..then put in series u get 8.4..I would suggest building ur own..try going into ur local hobby store and seeing if someone there can make u one..if not i have extras E mail me and I'll sell u what u need..TnT

It should look something like this. Positive connector to positive on one pack, a negative to positive bridge across, then negative back to the connector.

Thanks for your inout!

Just want to clarify a few things...

1. There are two different ways to set this up, Parralel and Series. I want to use a parralel setup?

2. When charging i have both batteries plugged in and charging at the same time.

3. Deans connection is better than Bullet? so essentially I want to set up 4mm Bullet-connector to deans connection. (4mm Bullet-connector to batteries, then deans to ESC.

Also, thank you for offering to sell me a pre-made one, but I live in Australia so im probably better off trying to make my own than paying for all that postage and having to wait for it to arrive.

Cheers,
Jd

Never mind guys, answered my own questions, cheers for your help!
