Lithium Charger Leads

A number of the new lithium chargers have banana plug leads to which you solder your connector(s) of choice. Because different lithium packs of different capacities come pre-wired with any of several types of connectors, solder additional connector types to the banana jacks so that your charger output leads match the connectors on your packs—eliminating the need for additional patch cords. Just one hint: avoid mounting multiple connector output leads if more than one connector type has protruding pins (to safeguard against shorts).
