Switching to Deans Connectors

how quick can you get to the battery to yank it out ???

Challenge accepted.

 

9 seconds under ideal conditions, i.e. indoors, no wind, no rain, no other players shooting at me, and no pressure from $hit my guns on fire ?

 

New Deans are easy to take apart even with gloves on.  Shortning the wires has also made it easier to install/remove the battery.

 

I think I'll leave it for now, but if I go down the LiPO route will revisit.

I think you will be fine tbh but I do not wish to be seen promoting the removal of fuses

 

In fairness many small battery powered devices don't have fuses

but we are talking about stuff with a lot more juice running through it

 

the risk is fairly low in well wired & maintained gun I feel - you should be fine sir

Just did my spare battery, but not had to swap batteries mid skirmish yet.  I've done it really short so now it's a lot easier to fit the battery in my G36C.

 

Cheers

This thread has got me thinking I should swap out my new guns and batteries to deans now...

 

 

 

 

Gah, I knew I was forgetting something. The wiring in my JG M4 is fucking terribad, (not done by me I might add, think it was converted from rear to front wired at some point.) Loads of excess wire, a fuse smack bang in the middle. Main rason I switched to lipo nunchuk was because there was no room inside the PTS MOE guard. Am I gonna struggle settling Deans connectors inside a PTS MOE guard?

 

At the very least I need to sort the wires and relocate the fuse so thinking out loud, probably a good idea to upgrade the connectors.

I’ve taken a dremel to a fair few of my deans to fit in tight spaces , I’ve taken the corners back so there more rounded and tube like , not so boxy in shape .
