Are Deans enough?

[florianz]

honestly, I don't believe what they write. after I've read that countless mgm's going up in smoke w/out a reason, that article sounds funny...

the link I've posted before (http://www.elektromodellflug.de/hoch...romstecker.htm), this guy has tested different plugs. his tests on lipo batteries are of good standing here in germany. he is also writing for magazines.

but anyways, this guy has tested the deans ultra plugs, they have a resistance less then <0,3 mOhm, and they can handle 60A continous / 75A for 30s peaks. so I think they're quite ok. even good chinese copies should be ok, as long as they're not too hot after use.

more and more boat guys use 8 mm bullet connectors, they have higher permanent currents then cars. sure an 8mm connector can handle a lot, but that's not very handy, I think.

there is a certain way to avoid the sparks when connecting the batteries, can't remember exactly. Ive just orderd some new deans, after more then two years of use they're worn out and oxidised.

those eflite ec5-connectors look quite good.
