Is this adapter safe?

[Ethanator10000]

After pulling off the dean's connector of my plane I decided to switch everything to XT60 and I happened to have an extra male connector so I soldered it to a female dean's to make this adapter for my charger so that maybe I can return the one I bought for $10 at the store before I open it. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? I feel pretty confident in it but batteries aren't something I want to be wrong about.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Looks good to me, not much that can go wrong if you have the red wire soldered to the + and black to the - on both connectors.

Your strip length looks a bit long on the leads to the XT60 but you have plenty of heatshrink on there, it will work fine. I always like to strip the minimum amount but then again I'm a picky electrician.

Yeah I was considering redoing it cause I accidentally made them a bit long but I figured it's barely going to move anyway so it probably wasnt worth redoing. Maybe I will one day. Thanks guys I'll be returning that other adapter!

I like to make them shorter and heatshrink the wires so that they are all cover as one, of course that is after I heat shrinked them separately.

Looks good to me.
If you are going to XT60's why not just cut off the Deans and solder on the XT60?

I didn't cut off the dean's because I use that original deans cable with a few other adapters

LOL nothing wrong with it...I stepped around that issue by having a "squid cable" that I bought at the AMA Expo West a little over a year ago. It's got almost every connector you need - EC3, EC5, Tamiya, XT60, JST, and one or two others I've never used before.

The one thing it doesn't have is an XT30 connector, though, so I built my own adapter to go from XT60 down to XT30; very similar to your Deans connector. No issues at all with it!

Alright thanks for the responses everyone! I ended up redoing the xt60 side with shorter stripped ends cause they were really bothering me lol but it works great!
