Key Applications & Projects

• Battery Repair: Replace damaged connectors on Tattu, GNB, or CNHL micro batteries.

• Charging Leads: Build custom charge cables for your specific charger setup.

• Power Distribution: Use as a power input socket on your custom PCB projects.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Prerequisites: A damaged battery or a custom power project.

• Feature Upgrade: Switching from JST-PH (red) connectors to XT30 massively reduces resistance, giving your micro-drone more punch and longer flight times.

• Effort Level: Intermediate. Splicing battery wires requires caution (do one wire at a time!).

Virtual Technician & Wiring

• ⚠️ DANGER: When replacing a battery connector, NEVER cut both wires at the same time. You will short the battery. Cut, solder, and shrink-wrap one wire completely before touching the second one.

• Polarity:

  • Flat Side: Red (+) Positive

  • Round/Chamfered Side: Black (-) Negative

Accessories & Parts

What's Included:

• 1 x XT30 Female Connector with 10cm 16AWG Silicone Wire

Required Alternatives:

• For Drone Side: You need the XT30 Male Pigtail.

• Insulation: 3mm Heat Shrink Tubing is essential for battery repairs.
