Frequently Asked Questions
- What is this charge lead used for in my RC setup? — This charge lead acts as a connector bridge between your RC battery charger (which typically has 4mm bullet connector outputs) and your RC ESC battery connector (which uses a Deans male plug). It allows you to safely and conveniently connect your battery for charging without needing to solder new connectors or use adapter cables.
- Is the 150mm length suitable for my charging station? — The 150mm length is specifically designed for ESC end charging, making it ideal if your charger and battery are relatively close together. This compact size helps create tidy, professional charging setups with minimal cable clutter. If you need a longer charge lead, Radient also manufactures longer variants.
- What does 14AWG wire mean? — AWG stands for American Wire Gauge, and 14AWG represents the thickness of the copper wire inside the lead. A 14-gauge wire provides sufficient current capacity for safe charging of most RC battery packs, ensuring your charger can deliver power without voltage loss whilst maintaining safety standards.
- Can I use this charge lead with any RC charger? — Yes, as long as your charger has standard 4mm bullet connector outputs, this charge lead is compatible. The Deans male connector end will work with any RC ESC, battery pack, or charging port using the Deans T-plug standard, which is the universal connector type across most UK RC applications.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is a straightforward connector cable with no moving parts or complex features. Anyone aged 14 or above can use it safely as part of their RC charging routine. It's an essential spares item whether you're just starting your RC journey or you're an experienced competitor.
- What battery types can I charge through this lead? — This charge lead is universal and works with any battery type (LiPo, LiHV, NiMH, NiCd) as long as your charger and battery both use the specified connector types. The 14AWG wire safely handles the charging currents of most standard RC battery packs used in the UK hobby.
- What is the difference between this and similar charge leads? — The Radient Charge Lead RDNAC010007 stands out for its compact 150mm ESC-specific design, heavy-duty 14AWG wire construction, and high-quality soldered connections from a trusted manufacturer. Its particular advantage is the short length, which makes it ideal for tight pit setups and creates cleaner, safer charging configurations than longer, unnecessary cables.
