Default Silverback LiPo connector question

hi all, just got a silverback 6400 spiral 2 lipo with 5mm inboard connectors (my previous Lipos were 4mm).. my question is, do i go for a 5mm or 5.5mm gold banana plug? i see a crap ton of 5.5mm plugs for sale, barely any 5mm.. do they compress into the onboard plugs?

cheers.

The outside tubes (female connector) from 4mm banana plugs work quite well with 5mm tubes, if you have some spare.

5mm is standard for lipos, 5.5mm is more for larger esc - motor connections.

EC5 males are 5mm, they work perfectly on 5mm inboard connectors without the casing.
