Hey all,
Just checking my if my thoughts are right?

I have some shorty lipos coming with push in 4mm bullet connections.
Can I run the esc connectins to the battery,
And make another lead for checking the cells voltages by itself once the battery has been removed/disconnected?
This way I dont have to have it connected in the car?
Means I only have the one battery connection in the car rather than 2.

Awaiting a reply before I start soldering,
Many thanks

Yup, just put bullets on the end of the esc power leads.
Then you'll probably find that the shorty comes with most of a charge/balance cable. You'll just need to solder something to the end of the charge cable so it'll connect to your charger.

Ideal thats what I needed to know,
I will have to get a banan lead to charge anyway and will make another link lead for my cell checker,
Many thanks for the fast reply!

Make sure you colour code the wires/batteries.
Biggest risk with bullets is putting then in the wrong hole, can't do that with a dean's style connector.
So red wire, red heat shrink, red paint round the + connector on the battery. You should be ok.
