Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Will this work with my IMAX B6AC? Yes, it is the standard cable for the B6AC.

2. Is 16AWG safe for XT60? For charging (typically <10A), yes absolutely. For flying (60A), no.

3. Why choose this over the 14AWG version? This one is lighter, cheaper, and much more flexible. Perfect for smaller batteries (up to 3000mAh).

4. Can I charge a 4S battery? Yes, voltage (3S vs 4S vs 6S) doesn't affect the wire, only current (Amps) does.

5. Is the wire silicone? Yes, extremely soft silicone insulation.

6. Does it come with a balance cable? No, this is the main power lead. You must connect the balance lead separately.

7. What is the max current? We recommend sticking to 10A or below for continuous charging.

8. Is the length exactly 18cm? Yes, approx 18cm of wire length.

9. Can I use this for discharge? Yes, standard discharge rates (1A-2A) are fine.

10. Do the banana plugs fit tight? Yes, they are standard 4mm gold plated plugs.

11. Is the connector genuine Amass? It is a high-quality compatible XT60.

12. Can I use this for Lead Acid batteries? Yes.

13. Is it waterproof? No.

14. Does it have a fuse? No.

15. Can I use this for my e-bike charger? If your charger output is under 10A and uses banana plugs, yes.

16. Why is the XT60 Male? Because the battery is Female. The lead must be Male to fit.

17. Will this fit XT30 batteries? No, XT60 is larger. You need an XT30 charge lead.

18. Is the soldering reliable? Yes, fully inspected joints.

19. Can I use this to power a low-current project? Yes, if the project draws less than 12A.

20. What if I plug it in backwards? The XT60 is keyed to prevent this, but be careful with the banana plugs at the charger end!
