Deben Lithium Battery

[Dheff 6]

Merry Christmas lads!

 

Just a quick question, looked at past posts regarding lithium batteries. Good job as I was going to chop off the cigarette connection.

 

Is this male cigarette connector any good to connect onto the end of my Striker 170, it's going to connect to a 22AH battery.

Cheers in advance

Chop the ciggy connection and use one of these...

 

 

You should be able to get these from a garden centre or electrical wholesaler.

do away with that connecter , there crap to be honest and will cause you problems , probably mid course . i use the phono connectors from maplins or any diy place and solder them on , ill try and get a pic up . or if you really want to keep the cigar lighter one , tape them together because there forever coming apart.

i doubt you'll ever go back to lead acid mate .
