What is this lead called and will it work?

[turtletom100]

Hi.... :-)

I have bought a zippy 5400mah 2s battery from some guy and received it but he only has the tamiya connector cables for it.

Which personally I refuse to use. And also no balance lead for it I have looked on ebay for just the cables but can't find these.

I have found a potential alternative but not sure if it would work. And also what is the name because that is the only one I have found on ebay. Surely there are other sellers.

And to top it off that seller is jot around for the next 2 weeks which would mean if I charge the battery and the cells are faulty paypal will not cover me.

Are you sure this is what you need. The only zippy packs I've see are soft case and these are ment for plugging into hard case packs like nano techs.

Can you post a picture of the battery? If he's not been balance charging it then there's no way I would buy it. I'd be looking to send it back as it doesn't sound fit for use.

These packs are so cheep on hobbyking there's no reason to but second hand.

..... zippy do hardcase packs which use those leads

 

+1 on hobby king.  though I make my own leads generally speaking.

 

Just to confirm ,. you do want a 'deans' plug?

My zippys are hardcase and that would be the correct lead. As long as you are defo hardcase then crack on.

Yes they are the hardcase 2s zippy like deafty posted beneath I will upload a photo when I back home (in couple hours)

Yhat lead looks spot on but the delivery is ridiculous 5 hey want 5.50 for posting it lol so 7 quid for the cable

And the guy recons he has used balance lead but only has one for 3 zippys so he couldn't send it out. And the battery cost me 18 quid delivered which I didn't think was a bad price.

And yes I Def need deans as that is what my charger changes with :-)

I would go to hobbyking but almost 7 quid for a cable seems well steep. Lol.

And yes defiantly deans :-)

Tom, I may have a spare lead, will check for you and if so, will post it off

Is it possible to buy these leads with the bullet connectors at 90 degrees? they're a damn pain when running 2 packs.

Resolder them....or knock up a running connector at 90 degrees without the balance plug attached.

Sounds like you need some low profile 4mm bullets. I needed them when I was running 2 2s as a 4s:

I got them from Hobbyking, I'll see if I can find a linky.
