Turb() Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I have got some deans connectors that I want to fit to a car. Was just wondering what is the standard way they should be? I.e. does the male connector go on the car or the battery? and which pin should be + and which should be -? I know it doesnt matter as long as I do it all the same for me, but say i got a car with a deans connector I want my batter to fit and vice versa!

TiM! Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 It does matter. Put the female connectors on your batterys, and the male connectors on your cars and chargers. The top of the "T" is +. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menagruth Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) The female connector goes on the battery, male on the car. On deans connectors the top of the T is +. EDIT: Tim beat me. Edited July 19, 2009 by Menagruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turb() Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Lol. It wouldnt matter if i had + going to + and - going to - All it is doing is completing the circuit. But thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yeah but if you need to use someone else's battery and its the right way then you are stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya connectors are so bad its not even funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrklaw Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 you put the female on the battery so you don't accidentally short it on a piece of metal - no prongs sticking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
