Lipo Battery Problem

[Craguss]

Hi All, this is my first post, and just got back from racing at Roundabout in Denton, it was great!

Anyhow, A guy called MArk sold me some cheap LiPo's as I only had the one which I got with the Car (Team Associated B4.1). It came with a 7.2v 20C LiPo battery. That is fine, so I got 3 7.2V 30C LiPo batteris but when I got home just now realised that the connector for the battery is different than the LiPo I have, they are rounded!

Anyone advise as to whether I can use these batteries? Do I need to replace the connectors?

Cheers

just decide on a type of connector that you like and change them all so you can use any of your batteries.
Deans are good, fool proof but fiddly to solder, Corrally type 4mm bullets easy to solder but you can easily connect them up wrong and short out your speed controller.
I use 4mm bullets with red/black coloured heat shrink for easy identification.

There are other connectors too but avoid the tamiya type as they cannot take the heat generally.

or just make a connector i presume deans off the esc to whichever fitment you have on the lipos ,a link cable if you will i have one on my b4 as i have traxxas connectors on some batteries and deans(booooo) on others so i have a deans to trx connector cable......"off a guy called mark haha that made me "
