JTree Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Following in chowderhead's footsteps, I'll be wiring for external charging. I'm envisioning a receptacle port mounted inside the enclosure I can plug a stand alone charger in to for quick charging. Can someone point me to a chart that shows me what the part number for the identical receptacle on the board and the corresponding plug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, no matter, these will work regardless. When I get them in, I'll be sure to look for a real part number on the packaging and/or stamped on the part itself.

awsum140 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 They're nice for extending the JST connector. I am thinking about the same idea of using an external charger but I'd like a little more robust connector that's actually designed for multiple uses and abuses. To bad the mil-spec stuff is so darn big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTree Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I know! It is a shame. The connection may not hold up over time, but I think I'll only use the quick charge every so often anyway, as I am often close to a usb port. I'm only concerned about it charging quickly because I still have a hard time with the idea that I can'T just yank out the battery (ies) quickly and easily and replace with charged ones. Hence the reason I avoided on board batteries for so long.....but this chip has enough functionality to get me to try it out. If a 3x 18650 mod would be small enough for my taste, or if the functionality wasn'T crippled with 2 18650s, I'd go another route, but it is what it is I guess.
