I saw that. My friend placed an order with BetaFPV over 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't been delivered yet. Needless to say I'm a bit jaded. Anywhere else?

Can you wait just a little while longer? Just tried to find the quote but failed but pretty sure I read somewhere that Kabab said the new GNB/his/? new xt15 sized plug was coming soon, like end of month?...

I would wait and pass on those beta connectors...

I'm already pretty invested in the BT2.0's and don't really have any real complaints other than availability.

XT15's , YAAAAAAY

It's gotten pretty quiet around here... Any new news?

Just ordered another 20x female BT 2.0's from BETAFPV...

Any update on the BT2.0 alternative?

GNB 27:

I've been content with the ws micron deans so far only tried 1s though

Nick Burns just reviewed the new us65 pro with the gnb27 plugs. Where are these things?!

Can't those plugs accidentally short two battery packs together if they're in a bag or box together? Having a terminal exposed on a battery seems sketchy.

?? they're just like the BT2.0s , or an XT for that matter. Just a different shape for the plastic part for the most part. The back side of the connector needs heat shrink (or some sort of plastic cap, like on an XT90) after the wires are soldered on, or the terminals are exposed and can indeed be shorted out. The only hobby connectors that don't have that issue, far as I know, are ECs or Anderson Power Poles.

I suppose, I'm not saying they're ideal but they were cheap and available so I just got them figured they'd be better then the jst rcy's and at the time the bt2's were hard to come by. It seems like the gnb27 connectors would shave off 1/5 of a gram compared to the micro deans I'm sure they'd probably put out more amps and connect alot better

I've been using the deans micro on a wide range of rc batteries going on 15+ years now and never had a single one short because of that. And I don't take any special precaution, I store my lipos just dumped in a battery box. To short you need to contact both sides, only one is exposed.

Yeah I don't exactly pack my lipos in with the steel wool or anything like that but I do think the bt2's seem to clasp more solidly

Mico deans still holds the advantage IMO. Especially since there's no need for purchasing male or female and very little shorting risks.

I still haven't tried on 2s but I suspect they have to be better then the jst rcy's, I built a 1s toothpick up with 1202.5's and the micro Deans don't seem to be holding it back
