Overview
The LOGIC Charge Lead: 4mm~Multiplex (O-LGL-CLMPX) is an essential charging adapter for RC enthusiasts in the UK who operate battery packs equipped with Multiplex-style connectors. This straightforward yet indispensable accessory bridges the gap between chargers featuring standard 4mm banana plug outputs and Multiplex connector batteries, making your RC charging setup more organised, efficient and convenient. Whether you're a casual RC car UK hobbyist, a dedicated aircraft flyer, or someone exploring brushless RC vehicles for the first time, having the correct charge leads in your toolkit is absolutely fundamental to safe and hassle-free battery management.
Designed and manufactured by Fusion, a recognised name in RC accessories, this dedicated charge lead eliminates the need for improvised adapters or unsafe workarounds when connecting your charger to Multiplex-equipped battery packs. It represents the practical, no-nonsense approach that experienced RC modellers rely on to keep their charging infrastructure simple and reliable. The lead provides a robust connection that ensures your batteries charge safely and efficiently, regardless of whether you're powering ready to run RC models, high-performance racing setups, or specialist aircraft and helicopter platforms.
For RC enthusiasts operating multiple vehicles across different brands and platforms, maintaining a collection of dedicated charge leads is genuinely important. Rather than attempting dangerous improvised connections or struggling with incompatible plugs, investing in purpose-built adapters like this LOGIC Charge Lead ensures that your charging workflow remains safe, organised and professional. This is the kind of accessory that separates experienced RC operators from those who cut corners—and it's an absolute must-have for anyone serious about their hobby.
Key Features
- 4mm Banana Plug Input — The charging side features industry-standard 4mm banana plugs, which are the universal output connector found on the vast majority of modern RC battery chargers throughout the UK and Europe. This ensures maximum compatibility with virtually any contemporary charger you're likely to own or encounter.
- Multiplex Connector Output — The battery side terminates in a genuine Multiplex-style connector, which is the specific plug format used on many battery packs, particularly those from European manufacturers and specialist RC aircraft builders. This dedicated connection ensures a secure, polarised fit that prevents dangerous reverse-polarity mishaps.
- Compact and Portable Design — As a single-lead adapter, this charge lead is lightweight and easy to store in your RC toolkit or pit bag, taking up minimal space whilst remaining immediately accessible when you need to swap batteries or change vehicles during a day at the field or at home.
- Professional-Grade Construction — Manufactured by Fusion to ensure reliable performance, this lead uses quality connectors and wiring designed to handle the current demands of modern high-performance RC batteries, from standard capacity packs through to large-capacity extended-flight systems.
- Safe Polarity Matching — The keyed design of both the 4mm and Multiplex connectors ensures that you cannot accidentally connect the lead with reversed polarity, protecting both your charger and your battery from potentially dangerous situations.
- Universal RC Application Compatibility — This charge lead works with any 4mm-output charger and any Multiplex-equipped battery, making it suitable for RC cars, aircraft, helicopters, boats and other platforms that utilise Multiplex connectors in their power systems.
Technical Performance
The LOGIC Charge Lead: 4mm~Multiplex is engineered to provide reliable, safe connectivity between modern battery chargers and Multiplex-equipped battery packs. The 4mm banana plugs on the charger side are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring a snug, corrosion-resistant contact that maintains consistent electrical flow throughout the charging cycle. The Multiplex connector termination on the battery side is a keyed, polarised design that prevents accidental reverse connections—an important safety feature when dealing with lithium polymer, lithium iron phosphate, and nickel-metal hydride battery chemistries that can be damaged or dangerous if charged with incorrect polarity. The internal wiring is appropriately gauged to safely carry the charging currents typical of RC applications, whether you're topping up a single 2S LiPo pack for a quick afternoon session or maintaining the large-capacity batteries used in extended-flight RC aircraft or long-runtime electric vehicles. The lead provides a straightforward, no-nonsense connection that handles the demands of contemporary RC charging infrastructure throughout the UK and Europe, where Multiplex connectors remain popular, particularly amongst aircraft modellers and European-branded equipment users.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What chargers work with the LOGIC Charge Lead 4mm~Multiplex? — Any modern RC battery charger featuring standard 4mm banana plug output sockets will work perfectly with this lead. This includes the majority of contemporary mains-powered chargers, 12V DC chargers, and USB-input chargers used throughout the UK RC hobby. If your charger has 4mm sockets, this lead will connect properly.
- Which battery packs are compatible with this charge lead? — Any RC battery equipped with a Multiplex-style connector will work with this lead. Multiplex connectors are particularly common on European RC aircraft, some specialist helicopter batteries, and certain manufacturer-specific battery ranges. Always verify your battery's connector type before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. If you're new to RC and have a charger with 4mm outputs and a battery with Multiplex connectors, this lead is exactly what you need. It's one of the most straightforward charging accessories you can use—simply plug the 4mm end into your charger and the Multiplex end into your battery, and you're ready to charge. Just always verify polarity and follow your charger's instructions.
- Can I use this lead with any battery chemistry? — Yes. Whether you're charging lithium polymer (LiPo), lithium iron phosphate (LiFe), lithium-ion, or traditional nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, this lead will work. However, always follow your specific charger's settings for the battery chemistry you're using, as different chemistries require different charge profiles.
- How do I know if my charger has 4mm outputs? — Look at the output sockets on your charger. If they feature two round sockets (one positive, one negative) that accept 4mm diameter banana plugs, you have 4mm outputs. This is the most common output standard on contemporary RC chargers in the UK and Europe.
- Is the LOGIC Charge Lead better than making my own adapter? — Absolutely. Purpose-built charge leads like this one use quality connectors and appropriate gauge wiring tested for safety and performance. Homemade adapters pose serious risks including poor connections, fire hazards, and battery damage. Always use professionally manufactured charge leads.
- What makes Multiplex connectors different from other RC connectors? — Multiplex connectors feature a distinctive rectangular plug design that is keyed to prevent reverse-polarity connections, making them notably safer than some other connector types. They're popular in RC aircraft and certain specialist applications, particularly amongst European manufacturers and traditional modellers.
