How to correctly choose different types of lithium polymer battery plugs

Because of its extended lifespan, low weight, and excellent energy density, lithium polymer batteries are becoming increasingly common. However, because there are so many varieties of lithium batteries available, it's critical to comprehend how each one functions and which plug kinds perform best with it. This blog post will review the different types of lithium battery plugs and summarize their advantages and disadvantages. We'll also go over when to utilize specific plugs and how to make sure you get the right one for your application. Let's begin!

Styles of plugs for lithium polymer batteries 

JST, PH2.0, XT30, XT60, XT90, EC3/IC3, EC5/IC5, Bullet 6.5mm, Bullet 8.0mm, Dean plug, QS8, and TRX plug are the primary plug types for lithium batteries. Every kind of plug has certain benefits.

XT60 plugs can withstand larger currents and are far more robust than JST plugs. Additionally, connecting and disconnecting them is more straightforward. Typically, they are connected to 10/12/14 gauge wire, which theoretically allows for a higher current capacity of 140–55 amps. You may use the CNHL Black Series 1100mAh 22.2V 6S 100C Lipo Battery with XT60 Plug.

The XT90 connector has a maximum power of 150V and is 90 Amps. Larger batteries and applications requiring high current, like electric automobiles, usually use it. They often attach to 8/10/12/gauge wire, which theoretically allows for a higher current capacity of 190–100 amps. You can use the CNHL 4000mAh 11.1V 3S 40C Lipo Battery with XT90 Plug.

The XT30U is a 30 Amp connector with a 60V maximum voltage. It is usually used for smaller batteries and applications where weight is an issue, such as drones. Typically, it is connected to 14/16/18 gauge wire, which theoretically allows for a higher current capacity of 55-22 amps. The CNHL MiniStar 650mAh 22.2V 6S 70C Lipo Battery with XT30U is a suitable option.

A particular kind of plug called an EC5 (sometimes known as an IC5) plug is explicitly made for use with lithium polymer batteries. This plug can securely connect the battery to its device because it is constructed from high-quality materials. The EC5 plug is an excellent option for people who require a dependable power source for their gadgets because it can also deliver a respectable quantity of power to the connected item. Typically, they are connected to 10/12 gauge wire, which theoretically allows for a higher current capacity of 140–100 amps. The CNHL G+Plus 6000mAh 22.2V 6S 70C Lipo Battery with EC5 Plug is what you can use.

Many electronic devices employ lithium batteries of the EC3 (sometimes known as IC3) connector type. The device is powered by a tiny, cylindrical connector that is put into it. The "lipo" or "lithium-ion" plugs are other names for the EC3 plug. Typically, they are connected to 12 gauge wire, which has a theoretical current capacity of 100 amps. The CNHL G+Plus 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 70C Lipo Battery with EC3 Plug is what you can use.

Any lithium battery pack is ideal for an 8.0mm bullet plug. It is incredibly user-friendly and composed of premium materials. All you need to do is solder the positive and negative wires to the appropriate plug terminals. They typically connect to 8 gauge wire, which has a theoretical current capacity of 190 amps. One option is the 9500mAh 22.2V 6S 90C Lipo Battery with an 8.0mm Bullet Plug.

Lithium batteries can be used with this 6.5mm bullet plug. This plug is long-lasting and composed of high-quality materials. This plug will give your batteries a safe connection and is simple to use and install. They typically connect to 8 gauge wire, which has a theoretical current capacity of 190 amps. One option is the 6200mAh 11.1V 3S 90C Lipo Battery with a 6.5mm Bullet Plug.

A positive and a negative terminal make up the two-pin Dean plug connector. The terminals are joined by a metal spring, and the positive terminal is more significant than the negative terminal. The purpose of the Dean plug is to establish a secure connection between the battery and the powered device. This connection guarantees the device receives the best possible power delivery and avoids voltage drop. Typically, they are connected to 12/14 gauge wire, which theoretically allows for a higher current capacity of 100–55 amps. The Dean Plug is available for the CNHL Black Series 2100mAh 7.4V 2S 6C Lipo Battery.

Connecting your lithium battery to your gadgets is quick and straightforward with a QS8 plug. This plug will offer a dependable connection and charge because it is made especially for use with lithium batteries. Additionally, this plug has a safety lock to guard against unintentional disconnections. They typically connect to 8 gauge wire, which has a theoretical current capacity of 190 amps. The CNHL Racing Series 16000mAh 11.1V 3S 90C Lipo Battery with QS8 Plug is what you can use.

A fantastic method to keep your batteries charged and ready to go is with a TRX plug for lithium batteries. The Traxxas firm invented TRX plugs, which are commonly used in various Traxxas RC car models. This socket is compatible with all lithium batteries and is simple to use and install. Typically, they are connected to 10/12 gauge wire, which theoretically allows for a higher current capacity of 140–100 amps. The CNHL Racing Series 8400mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Lipo Battery with TRX Plug is what you can use.
