Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Will this fit my Traxxas Slash? Only if it uses the older red connector or you have a Deans adapter. New Traxxas IDs are different.

2. Is 16AWG safe for 5000mAh batteries? Yes, if charging at 1C (5A). The wire handles 12A easily.

3. Why is the T-Plug called Male? Because the metal contacts stick out, even though the plastic housing fits inside the battery.

4. Can I use this for NiMH batteries? Yes, absolutely. Just make sure your charger is in NiMH mode.

5. Is the wire silicone? Yes, soft 16AWG silicone.

6. Does it fit the IMAX B6AC? Yes.

7. What is the max current? 12 Amps continuous charging.

8. Is the length exactly 18cm? Approx 18cm.

9. Can I use this for discharge? Yes, standard discharge rates are fine.
