Connectors for 8 AWG Lipo?
 

I just bought my first 'big' battery for an EDF. When I look at the #8 wire, the Dean connectors I've used on small batteries hardly seem adequate. What do you guys recommend for running 2 - 5000mah 5's in series on a 100 amp ESC? Bill

You could use something like this, insulated of course.

On the lower amp set ups with 8 gauge wire and using a Deans, I tin the wire first, then take my Dremel cut off wheel and cut a slice in the end of the wire. This slips over the tab on the Deans, then hit it with my 40 watt solder pen. Works quite well.

Thanks! As it turns out, I had the gold connectors I'd bought way back. Turns out when I got the battery it already had those connectors soldered on, so all I had to do was put them on the ESC. Bill
