The LBA-10 comes with two bannana plugs to plug into the charger. The tap plug is hyperion/Apache. The wire that goe to the battery to be charged are bare. This is where you need to solder on a Deans, Tamiya, or whatever connector you are using. I have never heard of heat issues with the LBA-10 so I don't know what to tell you there.
