please help on connectors issue

do you have any 3.5mm connectors??if you do they will fit the xt60

(BE VERY CAREFULL OF + AND THE -) .
the plug will not fit wrong but you can hook up 3.5mm wrong.you could use it this way till you get the adapter.??

NO i was talking about the type that fit on motor leads
3.5mm
you would be best off to get some local with 1 or 2 deans,then you could wait on the adapters you need.
i was saying use one of this type, then a 1/4 or .186 flat spade you can get from auto store for the deans side or pull the deans and place the 3.5mm on wire.

being new to this you may wish to get some help as lipo's are NOT the batterys to learn on.

Hi All,

Need your help again due to the issue above...I received in the last parcel: 2 x 2200mAh 3S Lipo batteries + the GT A-6 charger + 2x HK Cell Key - 6s Lipoly Cell checkers.
1) Do these batteries come fully pre-charged? The readings on the batteries are about "ALL=11.1v, and each cell around 3.84 (others 3.83v or 3.85v"
2) can I use the cell keys to measure how much of the battery capacity was discharged (in order not to go over 80% consumption)?
3) when I used the cell key on one of the old batteries, it didn't give anything, as if battery is dead. what could be the reason?
4) Another old battery shows regular readings on 2 cells, and for the 3rd cell it blinks with a number like 0.80v. Is it safe to charge this battery?

P.S. regarding the charger, I found a colleague who will give me a male XT60 that I will replace the charger's T connector with.

Thanks all,
Krimbu

Thanks speedy72vega.

Isn't 3.7v the maximum for each cell on a Lipo battery?
And when you say 50% capacity, that should be measured in mAh and not in v, right?

And again, can I use the cell key meters to measure how much of the battery capacity was discharged (in order not to go over 80% consumption)?

Originally posted by airwave Krimbu 3.7 volts per cell is 50%,full charge is 4.20 volts per cell.for 80% consomption the voltage is~ 3.1-3.0 volts per cell I/E 6 volts for 7.4 lipo and 9.0 volts for 11.1 store voltage is ~ 50 -60% 3.7 to a high of 3.9 or so. the key cell can check the cells for balance and charge but not ma in as far as i know. this one this is your charge??

Great! So it means that i can use the cell key to make sure no cell goes below 3v, right?
Yes, that is the charger i meant.
I hope i will be getting a male xt60 connector tomorrw from a friend or, even better, a banana<->male xt60 charge cable :-)

Thx
