battery connector help!!!

[Coski111]

hi i ordered two batteries that have deans female connectors on them and i run with female small tamiyas at the moment. can anyone guide me to a place where i can buy an adapter/harness to adapt to female tamiya ??

thanks.

Buy a pair of male Dean's and change the plugs on your gun and charger.

That is the whole point of theses connectors.

Local hobbyshop, or online.

cheapbatterypacks.com sells connectors, CircuitCity also I think

To find an adaptor, you either have to make one yourself, or if you have two left feet as far as soldering goes, get a friend to do the job for you.

^Not true they are quite easy to find, though is it easier to make them. If your batt has a deans connector just re-wire your gun for deans. Its SUPER easy and doesn't cost much. Seeing how you can get a deans female/male set for $3.75.

Buy the male/female set from airsoftparts or where ever you like and use the left over male deans to make a deans adapter for your charger.

well i suck at soldering lol, and i wouldn't want to re wire my gun to deans yet cuz i would have to change all my batteries and both my rifles. i would rather use a harness or adapter at the moment, until in the future when i decide to change everything to deans

i used a harness for a bit. finally moved all of them to the same connector.

Although I have a HRS course and work on aircraft electronics.. so the soldering part was easy for me. haha. But having all the same plug is great and handy. maybe convert the two new batteries back to what you mostly have?

Trust me. Getting to an op with guns and batteries.. and no adaptor. SUCKS (or tape them to the batteries so they can not come apart from them.

or you can rewire the battery to tamiya and keep the deans for later.

(Also you could try to stop sucking at soldering and take the occasion to fight frustration and get a good job done+personnal satisfaction (use flux)...)

Donp at unconventionalairsoft.com sells them he also has a retail thread in here.

deans to tamiya adapters defeat the purpose of running deans. they will work but...

find a friend who can solder the connectors for you and buy him a beer or two after he does the work!

I've forgotten an adapter or pressure switch before, but that's why I always pack 2 backup weapons now.

but yeah, sucks when you're primary is game-able but packed up for the day.

Guess I've been spoiled enough by my skills that I never had to look for them, yet in the past, others would ask for them and the answer was always "Make your own, or find someone who can make you one". Never saw anyone point out a link to a retailer that sells them though.

^Ya they are almost easier to make than to try and find.

I convinced him to get me to change all his plug ends - he's good to go...
