I've seen this many times, you bought a new receiver battery and it won't plug into your receiver switch. I've read all sorts of ways guys go about trying to fix it. I've seen guys re-soldering wires, trying to seperate the wires from the connectors and all sorts of different ways... Here's a very simple procedure to remedy that simple problem.


Your new Battery has this connector.

But you need it to go into this...

Cut the unused port off with a pair of dykes. Not the kind you meet in a bar, but wire cutters. Make it look like this.

See that wasn't so hard was it, just one little snip and the problem goes away. LOL.

Yup, 25 years ago when I got into this hobby, you couldn't find different adapters, you had to make them.
:D Dam you!!! Now you tell me after I just pulled both wires out of the adapters of my new and old battery and swap em. Then cutting and re-wiring my switch wire to my battery. It was a direct link now from switch to battery :( You know... I thought about clipping it like you did here... but didn't do it cause it might not work well and looks unprofessional... but I should of done it!

I was going to post this up on your thread, but I figured I'd start my own.

Nothing looks unprofessional when it's plugged in, you can't even see the cut.
