Ok I was out at my local track today and was racing around and notice I forgot to strap down the balance plug of my 4s Lipo. Now I'm not good at soldering so I was wondering if I could just but the plug port and more metal things? I have 3 out of 5 metals things still attached (see picture)(sorry for bad picture off a kindle fire) and just redo it? Or should I just pay someone to solder a new plug for me? But having trouble finding the plugs and metal clips. Much help would be nice. Thanks

If your will to solder New lead on send me an PM with your price w/ shipping.

Those types of pins are usually crimped on rather than soldered (some like to add a bit of solder to reinforce). You may need to buy an appropriate crimping tool plus the plug and pins. Don't let the leads touch in the mean time, if the wrong ones touch then it could short and start a fire.

Yeah I made sure the wires aren't touching each other. So now I just have to see how much this is all going to cost me. Lucky I ordered a new batt. Don't really want to trash this batt. And I don't think I could ship it to someone to fix it without the wires touching. I was just thinking about buying the wires with the plug and soldering it to the old wires but my soldering sucks.

Hate to say it, but the most important thing you can learn to do in the rc hobby is solder proficiently. Key is practice, and a good temperature controlled soldering station. I used to absolutely hate soldering with the cheap unregulated irons. Terribly solder joints that broke or just were plain ugly. Since getting a new temperature controlled solder station I have progressed to a point that I don't mind soldering in the least bit and actually enjoy some challenging smaller pieces of work. Practice on scrap wire and watch many tutorials. You'll get it!

Now it's just a matter of finding the plug having no luck there I found the metal clips and plugs but if I want to do soldering route I'm having hard time finding that. Must be searching wrong

Thanks for the tip

I don't think soldering is your answer. I think you are better off trimming your wires to equal length then just re-crimp a new plug. But as Ride1226 has said learning to solder is invaluable in this hobby.

What is the battery manufacture?
If you or someone else is to do this, it is very important to get the wires in the correct order.
You may be able to get the pins and plug from the manufacture. It maybe best to send to them to repair.
If you ordered the same battery, a picture of that plug maybe invaluable.

Good Luck

I think you can find the terminals and a crimping tool at Hansen Hobbies, but the tool might cost a bit. Another possible solution, which does involve soldering is to get a pigtail (connecor with the wires) from buddyrc.com and solder the pigtail to the wires after cutting them all to the same length.

One issue I see is that, unless you have another battery of the same type (or access to a voltmeter), you won't know what order the wires must be in.

It is easy to find the order of the wires with a multimeter if the cells have voltage left and the internal connections of the wires are not damaged. Just measure the voltage between each and the black wire and sort them in ascending order.

Wow this is all confiscated. I will probby GO the crimping route since it seems easier. Also I ordered this battery on EBay so I don't think sending back for repairs is going to work and the battery is this

That is the new one I'm getting but different seller

So now I can get a crimp tool for 20$ on amain.com I hope this is the right tool for the job

Now I am having trouble finding the right pins and plugs. Of course when I get the new battery in the mail I can just copy the plug from there.

Ok found these plugs on eBay.com

Will these work? I am going the crimping route now I just need to make 30$ to cover everything.

Those are 3s plugs. You need 4s.

Blargh I think I need to learn to read then buying......back to looking...

This should be right?

Thats them.
