How to choose the perfect balance charge lead

 

We understand that there are a lot of options when ordering from us. This guide will help you fill out the necessary information.

1. What cell count do you need? 

2. What length would you like?

  • Our most popular is 24".
  • We suggest at least 15" for any lead.

3. How many amps are you charging and discharging at? Our recommendations are:

  • 12 awg Up to 45 amps
  • 10 awg Up to 80 amps

4. What balance connector would you like?

  • The stock connector, will plug into 99.99% of chargers on the market.
  • However we do offer the 7pin upgrade for those that are interested in more stability.

5. What charger side connector do you need?

  • Just type in your charger make/model. We'll take care of the rest.

6. What charger side connector angle would you like (bullets only)?

  • Angled is a great option if your charger is up higher than where you are charging your battery. It is also a great option if you are charging your battery to the left or the right of the charger.
  • If you're charging your battery in front of your charger we recommend straight connectors.

7. What battery side connector do you need?

  • Most 2s and 4s batteries use an industry standard 5mm connector.

8. What battery side angle would you like?

  • Only bullet connectors can be angled. Angled bullet connectors allow you to shut a lipo bag easier, as well as provide a better handle when pulling the connector out of a battery.

  • If you charge your battery in your car (which we do not recommend), we suggest you use straight connectors. Straight connectors, are our most popular option.

9. Extreme Duty

  • Is recommeded for anyone looking for a long lasting charging product. It reinforces the area around the connector. It also comes with a longer warranty.

    11. Selecting sheathing colors for your lead

    • The primary sheathing color, is the sheathing that is in the middle of the lead.

    • The charger side sheathing color, is the sheathing on the charger side of the lead.

    • The battery side sheathing color, is the sheathing on the battery side of the lead.

    12. Selecting a primary heat shrink color

    • This is a great place for a solid colored lead to become a 2 colored lead, providing a "pop" of color. 

    13. Selecting a logo

    • The DRC logo is free. If you choose another logo, it will come with 2 for your lead and 8 additional pieces per lead of heat shrink with that logo (this breaks down to $1 a piece).

    • Custom heat shrink can be used to show off your logo, phrase, nickname ETC. We can put just about anything on your lead, as long as you have permission to use a companies logo/phrase.

    • The other logos we have permission to use are a great addition to any lead to show support for that brand.
