I must have misunderstood what I read thank you for your responses. Is there a post on here that has good general info about Lipos charging, discharge and storage?

ease of removing and replacing the LiPos since I read on here that you shouldnt charge a pack more than once a day. :?: I read that charging a Lipo battery more than once a day is bad for the battery and can shorten it's life and that it is better/safer to replace the battery when it goes dead with...

I was wondering about soldering directly to motor etc but I really wanted to have the ease of removing and replacing the LiPos since I read on here that you shouldnt charge a pack more than once a day. so makes sense to use connectors to me

Thank you all for the responses It gets very confusing and sometimes the more you read the more confused you get

Isnt 12 gauge about as big as you would use? what would use anything bigger than 12?

Those do look good maybe when I go to a bigger wire size I will use them. What would use anything bigger than 12 gauge wire I thought 12 gauge was pretty big, isnt it?

I dont know it works for me and remember if all else fails use a B...

I got the EC3 connectors. The more I looked at the Deans the more nervous i got about them shorting out. Thank you for all the great info

I do have to say I am nervous about soldering the LiPo but there is a lot of good advice here so Im not as nervous as I was. I did forget about the low bat cutoff so thank you for that as well

Thank you for the soldering tips good to know!
Any problems running these electronics with the Li-Po battery?

I am a newbie in RCs and Li-Pos, I only ran NiCds in the past and very little of that. I am just finishing cleaning and restoring (not full restore just bearings etc) my RC10T and I just got my first Li-Po batteries (Gens Ace 4000mAh 25C #2S1P) and a set of Deans Ultra plugs Part#1300. My question i...

Thank you very much! great reading

And a safe New Year!
