Are you looking for reliable and high-quality connectors for your quadcopters, RC planes, cars, or other electronic devices? These connectors are a popular choice among hobbyists and professionals alike due to their durability and ease of use. They’re designed specifically for use with lithium polymer batteries, making them an ideal choice for quadcopter and FPV enthusiasts. Generally, our XT60 connectors are made from high-temp nylon with gold-plated spring pins or sockets moulded in, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The shape of the connector also prevents reverse polarity, providing added safety.

What is the C rating?
The C rating of a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery refers to its discharge rate, or how quickly it can release its stored energy. This is important for quadcopter enthusiasts as the C rating determines the amount of power that the battery can provide to the motors.
A higher C rating means that the battery can discharge its energy more quickly, providing more power to the motors. For example, if a quadcopter requires a certain amount of power to hover in place, a battery with a higher C rating would be able to provide this power more efficiently than a lower-rated battery.

Matching C rating with other considerations
However, it is important to note that choosing a battery with too high of a C rating can also
have negative effects on performance. If the battery's discharge rate is too high for the motors or other components of the quadcopter, it can cause overheating and potentially damage these components.
When selecting LiPo batteries and connectors for quadcopters, it is important for enthusiasts to consider both the voltage and capacity as well as the C rating. The ideal combination will depend on factors such as the size and weight of the quadcopter, as well as desired flight time and performance.
