Battery connector type ?

[Declan]

Hi,
I'm trying to do a bit of diy battery charger stuff.
Who makes the standard 7.2V nicad battery connectors ?

Is it AMP/Molex/ITT Cannon ??

Thanks,
Declan

You are probably referring to the white plastic Tamiya plugs. If you are
smart, you will stay away from them. They don't hold up to high current
loads. There are much better alternatives out there, such as Dean's Plugs,
Powerpoles and a few others. A good LHS should be able to supply you.

Yes, indeed it is the "Tamiya" plugs I need.
It's for charging the stick packs in my starter box, so they Tamiya ones are
fine.

Also, I'm in Ireland, so my choice of LHS is quit elimited !

Thanks for the info,
