quick lipo connector question

[georgec]

Just be very careful not to short out the wires! Lipos can't take even the slightest short. Your best bet is to cut strip and solider one wire at a time.

yeah lol when I was soldering my neuenergy lipo i shorted it out twice, i accidently let the two ends touch, and then later they shorted out over the metal pliers! they seem to still work ok 5 months later...



thanks for those tips, i'll keep them in mind. When you say flux, do you mean solder? I'm a bit confused.


cheers

I usually use a rubber band to hold one wire back around the pack so its impossible for them to touch while soldering.
