I've been sticking with Deans for a while now, diligently soldering new connectors on to batteries if they've got something else. I liked that they are very compact and not too hard to disconnect.
I've finally converted to XT60 now however, as I'm sick of soldering new connectors. I've decided it's too hard. So here's what I think:
XT60 are very easy to solder - much like a standard connector. And they don't need much heatshrink (I'm always running out!!!). One tip though, when soldering male XT60 connectors on, always insert the female in for the soldering job. I've had the connector move before due to soldering temps, and it's very hard to get back into place. XT60 are also a bit harder to pull apart. I find this a bit annoying and I reckon my wife or my kids would have a lot of trouble with it, especially with the newer ones.
What do other people reckon? Deans, XT60 or something else?
