[Which Connector] - 3S 9000 mah

[arnonel]

Hi all

I have this: http://www.foxtechfpv.com/3s-9000mah-lipo-battery-p-740.html (3s 9000mah)

The Lipo has no connectors on it, but is on 8awg wire.

When I try using EC5 connectors, the wire doesnt slide though (which im told is the better way to do EC5 connectors).

Question 1: What is the best connector to use on this Lipo?
Question 2: Is it better to slide wire through EC5 first, then pull back until clicks into place, or better to push in the bullet into the connector?

8awg wire is rated at 75 amps so I would say to go for xt90';s.

Would also suggest XT90

Why not EC5?

Why not EC5?

No reason at all, just personal preference.

Similar to Darrell, though compared with Deans etc they simply behave themselves

I';ve been using EC5 on my kit ... and in answer to Q2 I solder the wires to the metal connectors and then push them in from the back.

Question 2:
Answer:  Not all EC5's are the same, some load the bullet connector from the back and some from the front, it all depends where they come from, you will have to look at them to tell.
