The world of connectors is as vast as the world of batteries and it can be difficult to source the right connector for a certain battery.
In our experience we have found that there are two effective methods of identifying connectors:
-
Photographs:
Taking a picture of the connector and sending it to us is very useful. Ensure that the polarity of the connector is clear and where possible state the dimensions of your existing connector.
-
Schematics:
A good schematic of the connector can also be useful; the diagram must be clear, again with polarity indicated (e.g. position of red and black leads) and dimensions of the connector.
Over the years we have built up a stock of common battery connectors which we may hold in stock or can easily get hold of. Some can be more difficult to source, in this case we recommend you send your existing connector to us and we will re-use it on the new battery pack; alternatively if you have the facility we can leave the battery with tag terminations and you can re-solder the connector yourself.
Pease Note:
Never solder directly to a battery, always use batteries with solder tags and solder to these.
We have put together a page of common connectors used on packs we have made in the past. The reference given to the connectors is one we have given for ease of recognition on our part. If you cannot see what you require, please feel free to contact us.
