combatwombat Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I recently bought a 2200 turnigy 25c-35c lipo and it came with 12 awg wires attached with a xt60 connector. The recommended max wire size says 16 gauge for silicone covered battery wire. Will it be safe to use this battery with xt30 connector with 12 awg wire, and will the larger wire gauge reduce the dna 200 chips output diminishing 200w power? I would probably have to trim the inside of the wire to be able to fit it in the xt30 connector. I just bought a new dna 200 chip and do not want to fry anything, thanks.

VapingBad Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Larger wire is OK, the only negatives are it will be a PITA, take up more room in your mod and too big to solder direct to the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combatwombat Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Thanks, is it difficult to change the wire on the lipo? Also is there any negative for the 12 awg going into a 16 awg wire which is attached to the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black lace Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I wouldnt disturb it at the cells, cut the length down "yeh" and use an xt30 or 60 connector, even slice the xt30 or 60 in half for better manovability and then cover with shrink tube to insulate ect, no worries with your guage wires as allready suggested you can drop down your size at whatever connector you find to use..
