We all dislike waste, but since that time I never touched a broken lipo plug again.I Luckily I was working near an open window at the time and lobbed it onto the grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Cottrell 2 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Hi Denis Thanks for the thought, but I've done a lot of electrical work in the past. Figure my surgical skills are up to it. Cheers Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis Watkins Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Posted by Jason Channing on 14/03/2020 07:35:22: If their was a lipo fire than you obviously weren't, capable of doing the job correctly and shouldn't of started it in the first place........ Granted Jason But, above is a beautiful photo of a brand new plug The Original Post, concerned a " Broken balance wire ", and my failure was just that A stretched and frayed broken red, leaving the red too short. The white side of the plug damaged too Just handling the lipo lead to sizzling, resulting in wingless flight out of the window. Stuff happens, have a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Berriman Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 My view is if one wire has gone others maybe suspect. My option was to replace the whole plug from a used connector. Just make sure you cut old wires individually and work on one wire at a time and solder up and heat shrink. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
