Charger DC input Query
Hi All
I've just purchased a Corally 2100 Eclips duo charger but have a few questions regarding the DC input. What is the name of the orange socket for the DC input? Also i have a 12v supply in my car which uses a standard cigarette lighter plug so would like to purchase a pre-made adaptor to connect the charger. Any ideas? All other chargers I've used like the Core RC UAC50 use a 5.5mm (i think) plug. Many thanks Si |

connector looks similar to "XT60" design although I wouldn't 100% guarantee it (check hobbyking website
I wouldn't use a cigarette lighter socket in car there only usually protected by a small fuse and some only work when ignition is switched on better buy a leisure battery for outdoor use regards dave |

Thanks Dave. Looks like you are spot on with the XT60.
Just seen this. Wondering if anyone has tried one. http://alofthobbies.com/cigarette-li...0-adapter.html Si |

It's an xt60. You can get bags of them from hobbyking. Pretty much standard connector now in flight and drones.

I certainly wouldn't use your car socket as a 12v supply, particularly with a dual charger.. You will probably flatten the car battery very quickly..!
As said above get a leisure battery around £50 off EBay....

I stick £100+ leisure batteries on my boat to start the chevy 5.7ltr 325hp V8 lump. The last one went dead over the winter, when it was deep discharged... The old BMW Bosch battery works fine to charge a few packs at 7A.
