Key Features

• XT90 Male to XT60 Female Configuration — This adapter features a male XT90 connector on one end and a female XT60 socket on the other, allowing you to connect XT90-equipped batteries to XT60 female connectors on chargers, ESCs, and other RC equipment. This specific orientation makes it ideal for bridging different battery systems without requiring permanent modifications to your existing leads.
• Compact Design — The adapter's small, lightweight form factor (0.02 kg / 0.04 lb) makes it extremely portable and easy to store in your RC bag or pit box. You can keep it with your charging setup or carry multiple adapters without adding appreciable weight to your equipment load.
• Straightforward Connectivity — This is a simple, direct adapter with no integrated electronics, switches, or complex components. It simply provides a passive connection between the two connector types, making it universally compatible with any XT90 and XT60 equipped devices regardless of brand, voltage, or amperage rating.
• Quality Construction — Built to Radient's reliability standards, this adapter is designed to provide consistent, secure connections that won't loosen or fail during use. The connectors are properly rated for standard RC power applications and deliver dependable performance across charging, discharging, and running scenarios.
• Suitable for Multiple RC Applications — Whether you're running electric RC cars, trucks, buggies, crawlers, or aircraft, this adapter works with any RC device using XT90 and XT60 connectors. It's equally useful for integrating new equipment into existing setups or maintaining a diverse RC fleet with different connector types.
• Age Recommendation 14+ — This product is recommended for users aged 14 and above, reflecting the need for responsible handling of battery connectors and RC equipment. Adult supervision is recommended for younger users working with RC batteries and power systems.

Technical Performance

The Radient XT90 Male to XT60 Female Adapter is engineered as a passive connector solution, meaning it contains no active electronics, regulation circuits, or current-limiting components. This makes it exceptionally reliable and universally compatible with any XT90 and XT60 equipped RC equipment across the hobby. The adapter supports standard RC power applications where both connector types are used, handling typical charge and discharge currents associated with brushless RC vehicles, aircraft, and other electric RC models. The connectors themselves are rated for the electrical specifications commonly associated with these plug standards in the UK RC hobby market. Because this is a simple mechanical adapter with no integrated circuitry, its performance is not limited by voltage, amperage, or battery chemistry — it works equally well with 2S, 3S, 4S, or higher LiPo batteries, NiMh packs, or any other battery type featuring XT90 and XT60 connectors. The compact design (shipping weight 0.02 kg) ensures that this adapter won't add unnecessary bulk to your pit bag or charging station. The straightforward, robust construction means there's nothing to break, malfunction, or require maintenance — it simply provides a reliable connection point between different connector types, exactly as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly does an XT90 to XT60 adapter do? — This adapter physically converts the connector type between two different standards commonly used in RC hobbies. If your battery has an XT90 male connector and your charger or ESC has an XT60 female socket, this adapter bridges that gap by providing an XT90 male end (that plugs into the XT60 female socket) and an XT60 female end (that accepts the XT90 male battery connector). It's a purely passive mechanical solution with no electronics involved.
• Why would I need this adapter for my RC setup? — Many RC enthusiasts accumulate equipment from different manufacturers and sources over time, and not all devices use the same connector standards. Some older RC cars, certain chargers, and various ESCs use XT60 connectors, whilst newer equipment or different battery brands might feature XT90 connectors. Rather than replacing entire battery leads or purchasing duplicate equipment, this adapter lets you use what you already own together seamlessly.
• Is this suitable for beginners in the RC hobby? — Absolutely. This adapter is one of the simplest RC components available and requires no technical knowledge to use. You simply plug your XT90 battery connector into the XT60 female end of the adapter, then plug the other end (which now presents an XT60 interface) into your charger or vehicle. It's perfect for beginners building their first complete RC setup or combining equipment from different sources.
• What voltage and battery types does this adapter support? — Because this is a passive connector with no electronics or active components, it works with any battery type and any voltage. Whether you're using 2S, 3S, 4S, 5S, or higher LiPo batteries, NiMh packs, lithium iron phosphate (LiFe) batteries, or any other chemistry featuring XT90 and XT60 connectors, this adapter will function perfectly. The connector standards themselves are rated for the typical power levels used in RC hobbies across the UK.
• Can I use this adapter for both charging and discharging? — Yes, this is a fully reversible connector adapter suitable for both charging operations and running your RC vehicles. You can use it with your battery charger during charge cycles, or connect your battery to your RC car, aircraft, or other equipment during operation. The adapter maintains full electrical integrity for current flow in both directions.
• How does this compare to other battery adapters available in the UK? — The Radient XT90 to XT60 adapter is a straightforward, no-frills connector bridge designed to do one job reliably. Unlike more complex charge leads or adapters with integrated wiring or balance connectors, this is a simple, direct conversion. It's an ideal solution if you just need basic compatibility between two connector types without additional features or complexity.
• Is this different from the Radient Short Battery Adapter (JST-Micro to HCT)? — Yes, these are entirely different adapter products for different connector types. The Radient Short Battery Adapter mentioned in the broader Radient range features JST-Micro and HCT T-Style connectors, which are common on smaller RC aircraft and some ultralight vehicles. The XT90 to XT60 adapter (RDNAC010124) is designed specifically for the larger XT-series connectors typically found on high-power RC cars, trucks, and larger aircraft.
• What is the shipping weight and can I carry multiple adapters easily? — The adapter weighs just 0.02 kg (approximately 0.04 lb), making it incredibly lightweight. You can easily carry several of these adapters in your RC pit bag without any noticeable weight penalty, ensuring you always have the right connector configuration available at the track, field, or charging station.
• Are there any limitations or safety concerns with using battery adapters? — This adapter is a passive connector with no active components that could fail. The main consideration is ensuring you're using the correct adapter orientation — the XT90 male end connects to your battery, and the XT60 female end connects to your charger or vehicle. Always verify polarity and connector fit before connecting power. As with all RC battery equipment, handle connectors carefully to avoid accidental short circuits.
