Wow .. This is really impressive ... I wonder how the Deans can handle such high currents...Originally Posted by Trappy
Thanks
PS... the TBS core looks fantastic .. I may get one soon ...... a lot of work .. has been put into the engineering of this central core I like the name too

I'm just saying if you are running 4S batteries and over 60 amps you might make sure everything is good before going any range.
In my case I believe mine was faulty from day 1 and that's why I crashed on my maiden flight - you can hear it reset in mid air...
The TBS core WORKS fantastic Khaled - very clean signal out to 3 miles the other day...

According to this, XT60s have higher resistance than (real!) Deans.
That's a cool report!
Like I said mine was defective, in no way am I suggesting that everyone's Zeph will catch on fire.
On most cruises I run 20amps, peak at 70 on take off....
I think XT60's are more durable than deans though.

Personally I've been looking into crimp based connectors. I loathe soldering either one (XT60/Deans). I guess that's what you get for using a shitty soldering iron.
Have been running deans on a Okto8 with 2 x 4 cells in parallel, have had constant trouble with only 1 bat pack supplying power, so I have taken to placing a small piece of silicone off of a balance wire UNDER the Dean's springs and this seems to have fixed the problem.
However upon looking into it I found that the real problem may have been because the battery packs had HK female copy Deans on them while the Okto had the Genuine male Deans - I don't think the two play well together.
I also connect this to the batterys http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dproduct=18987 before connection as a another backup.

I have no affiliation with that site whatsoever, but if you call "BS" you might want to show us some data of your own, supporting that claim.
Based on that report I would say there is no significant difference between the two when you look at the OP's original question. Neither is rated to 100 amps anyway, so it really makes no difference to this conversation. Bottom line it is user preferences that make up the majority of the Deans v. XT60 arguments. I personally like Deans 60amp constant rating with a 75amp burst rating (I don't have a bird that exceeds either), but the XT60 is also worth looking into 60amp continuous rating with 70amp burst rating and if you order batteries from HK they are pre installed and thus cheaper in the long run (I may be switching in the winter as well to save a dime or two plus a few minutes of soldering).
Now look at what users are subjecting the plugs to. Some have no issues running 80amps or way more (one guy I have seen claims 200amps for 30seconds on the Deans) through Deans and XT60s but as you see neither is rated for it. Go with what is best for you. So if you have 25 planes with Deans and don't want to swap then don't, if you want to swap then do.
Yeah I broke it. But I have Duck tape so its ok.
