I just realized SMC created their own (SC5) IC5/EC5 compatible connector.
They look promising. EC5 sucks to solder and can’t reliably be reused. IC5 is great but too expensive.I just realized SMC created their own (SC5) IC5/EC5 compatible connector.
Looks like you solder it like an XT connector.

Is there some way to get my battery boxes bigger? I moved the back part as far as I could and it is only a little less than 160mm
I got a set of the 10800 mah and ran them this evening. Much better run time than the basher pro 8000 mah. I ran hard cutting donuts riding wheelies and speed running across my yard for 20 minutes and each cell was still above 3.85. I know I could get 30 minutes easy ! I’m really pleased. Thanks for the advice guys
How long does shipping take? Those look like hard case. The 10800s I got are soft case but smaller than the 8000s. I prefer hard case because I run a good bit in an area with small gravel. If a piece of small gravel gets in under a soft case it has ruined a couple batteries in the past. I’m going to put lexan and clear gorilla tape on these.
I got the SMC’s quick too. Ordered Monday morning and they were on my porch Wednesday when I got home from work. I unfortunately have had a lot of SMC go bad. If you leave one charged for more than 48 hrs. It’s gone. All lipos require care but SMC seem more sensitive than other big brands.
Why are you leaving lipo charged for 48 hrs?
By mistake.
LOL my 2 years in the hobby and I've never ever done that. I'm way too terrified of lipos to ever accidentally leave one fully charged in my apt. Discharger is cheap bro!! And it's 100% worth it. Takes like 13m or so to drain a lipo to storage, definitely one of the best things I've bought tbh. Wish I bought it sooner
When I first got into the hobby I was charging 2-3 batteries and leaving them charged until I was ready to use them, sometimes 2 or 3 days. I was a dumb noob and didn't know any better. Needless to say I learned quickly it's a major NO NO and don't do it anymoreLOL my 2 years in the hobby and I've never ever done that.
