Ok to hook up like this? - 05.06.2006, 09:29 PM

Got my new chargers the other day (along with new 7XL's and other stuff, thanks Mike) anyway, just curious if this is the propper way to hook them up to the power supply or not. I am used to the old Super Brain's that you just plug into the wall, so this power supply stuff is new to me.
Thanks.

Yeah, that will work as long as you don't exceed the current capability of the power supply. To make things a little easier, you can use stackable banana plugs, like this: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=091-334 (If you are unsure about the spacing, you can use individual ones).

Shure! I always make deans charger wires.
YOur chargers should have come with a set of gold plugs... you could just use them along with some wire and deans males to make a convenient cable.

Bananas on the input is nice, too.

The deans would handle more power than the charge will need.
You could build a charge block to. run the wires to a bolt on a board or so and hook the clips to them. I look see if can find you an article.


Peace!
