Hey all,
So I am getting a charger soon and I am going to be making a plug out of 4mm banana plugs and deans from hobbyking.

like this but with the deans clones from hobbyking. I am wondering what is the largest wire that you can solder to deans and 4mm banana plugs? I can solder moderately well and if I cant do it, it seems my dad can magically solder just about anything. Or do you guys recommend buying the adapter in the pic from hobbyking and putting deans clones on it.
Regards,
Jackson

The copy and paste link doesn't work
I have been able to solder 8guage wire into a deans but it was hard. For charging a battery, 13 gauge would work just fine. 4mm bullets I think the limit would be around 10 gauge. But since it's charging, 13 or higher will work just fine.
