Huh? once you wire up the connectors on your ESC it is all but impossible to reverse the polarity accidentally using the supplied 4mm connectors and plastic covers. I've switch over to them on my larger electrics and prefer them over Deans plugs.
Legal reasons or not, I think these are dangerous and have switched to Deans. If you make up a cluster by having 2 or more batteries with a harness then it's possible to accidentally plug 2 of these batteries together resulting in a dead short, probably with a resultant explosion and fire! Withe Deans, this isn't possible.
Jeremy, I don't mean to be rude, but don't you read the specifications under the add. It's the 5 one down under the word, ( Spec.) called, ( Dimensions )
Yes I do read them, but numbers listed aren't always correct, I was hoping to get a confirmation from some real world numbers.. If you look at other zippys on here and some people have posted actual dimensions they differ from those listed.
Good point Jeremy and justice. Seven out of ten orders that I have received from Hobby King have had the dimensions or weights misrepresented. (44 orders total) That's why I try to post the dimensions and weights of all merchandise that I get from UH-HC-HK. Hopefully someone who has bought this battery will post the specs on it. Happy flying.
The "Deans" connectors are protected. Any connector that looks like it is illegal. They can be sued. That's why the batteries are using other connectors now. Deans hasn't authorized (yet) Zippy to use those connectors.
David, you must be kidding! Who cares? It is all about price on the connector! Economy rules everything today my friend. Many of Zippys are still sold with "Deans". I and many with me don't care what they put on on, because we change to our own standard if needed. For me it is Deans. People who can not resolder are not modellers, and they must be frustrated. They can look for another brand of LiPoly! The world is full with copycats.
Who cares??? Read the first line above. I answered his question. Looks like Jason agrees. BTW, I know because I got into some hot water over the Deans connector. Deans is hot on everyone for this. That's why you are seeing less and less of off brand batteries come with that connector now.
If you wont pay this great price cause you have to put your own connector on thats crazy. I use ec3 bullet conectors on mine so its great for me . Its great wether it had it or not.
I just want consistency. We've had Deans until now. Let's just keep it that way. I haven't had any problems. What problems did you have Fab? I like to get ones with the connectors already on them, and I think most people enjoy the convenience. If you don't want them, just change them. Honestly, I was going to buy this battery, but I decided not to, just because of the trouble of having to change the connector to a Deans because that's what all my planes use.
Since when do Chinese companies care about a product being made/sold legally? This is new to me!

I got these two batteries 2-weeks ago and disappoited when I charge it it said wrong voltages polarity discounnect the balancer and try 4 times untill reads thru my 610TP charger. I wait for 10-minutes charge to recover then, stop and re-connect balancer and works fine. voltages drop to 2.68 both of then, glad it recovered back. Today I tried wow it has a punch on my Trex 500 2-mode to hard 3D next time try 30C I bet better than 20C
Sehr gute Zelle. War zu 60pcnt vorgeladen, genau wie es fr die Lagerung sein sollte. Konnte nach Cut-off des Stellers 2830mAH nachladen. Zelle ist ein wenig breiter als die sonst von mir benutzten (45mm statt 34, wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil! ) . Pat nicht in den Funjet oder T-Rex450 ohne Modifikationen! Zelle aber sehr gut und spannungsfest, daher 5 Sterne

I bought 2 of these packs, I use them in a Extreme Flight Profile Yak, with a Turnigy motor, it pulls 55A (full throttle) with no problems. Very nice packs, I can recommend them to everyone.
