Clarification required on Expander
#1
Thread Starter

My Feedback: (13)
Hello,
Need help confirming compatibility before placing order. I want to use sub-c dual 5 cell nicad system (need the weight for CG).
Option #1: Expander + SuperSwitchHD 2 pack.
Question: Are the connectors in the SuperSwitch different 'sex' so that both can go at the same time in the expander?
Option #2: Expander + BatShareUltra.
Questions:
a) Seems can't use SuperSwitchHD in the same setup with a BatShareUltra due to the connectors, right?
b) If can't use SuperSwitchHD then connect BatShre direct to battery? Seems using a 'normal' switch defeats the heavy wiring purpose.
I don't have a preference for either option, but need to make sure they connectors are compatible as I just want to plug and play!
This is going to a sport jet with 8 digital servos + 3/4 standard ones.
Thanks,
Edgar

Hi Edgar,
The SuperSwitchHDs all have females on the output. If you want to use them straight into the PowerExpander you need to change one of them to a male. We do not have any made up that way but we can sell you a Deans set and you can make the change rather easily. If you want to use the BatShareUltra, it will connect directly to the SuperSwitchHDs and and the BatShareUltra will connect directly to the PowerExpander. You need a Deans female on each of your battery packs. If you want plug & play I would recommend the BatShareUltra combo and get your packs made with 18ga or heavier wire and Deans plugs.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Edgar,
You do not have to disconnect each flight if you have switches between the batteries and the BatShare, which is where they should be so you can charge your batteries.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
