I'm guessing you are just completing the circuit and there is a power surge that jumps the gap when the two connectors are almost touching. They do make anti spark XT90 (XT90-S?) connectors but I have never tried them. You should try connecting 8s with XT150 connectors. Loud pop and large bright spark. Scares the crap out of you the first time you do it. LOLAny ideas why my battery makes a pop/spark when connecting to nero? Have zippy 5800mah 60c with xt90 connections. Happens when fully charged battery is connected to 2nd plug (doesn't seem to mater which side is plugged in first).

Nothing to worry about. It is just sparking at the battery connector, correct?Thanks for the info...sounds like its nothing to worry about?

From my experience you get that spark over half of the time on 4s and on 6s I have had it 100% of the time myself. The cars that run 2s and 3s I never noticed it on but that's also a lot lower voltage and lower amperage.Correct...just as the connection. Aside from that the truck drives great...most stable monster truck Ive ever driven...love this rig...especially at $330![]()
Have not put those plugs in my hands but they must have a diode or resistor in those plugsThats what the green plug does.
Same thing I was thinking!The spark comes from the caps charging up,more cells,louder spark.
