RE: 8AWG wire to a Deans Connector?
juanjulian; Why not just use a [link=http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=12887]XT150 connector[/link]
These 6mm bullet, not banana connector, can link together if you must setup like a Dean and the casings as well as the bullets are male female and color coded.
So if you are the type to get confused then put male male and or female female casings on the batteries. This will allow you to still series the batteries also.
As for copyright on using a resistor??????? The manufacturer sold it for that intended use?
