Key Features
- XT90 Male to T-Plug Female Configuration — This adapter features a male XT90 connector on one end and a female T-Plug (also called T-connector or Tamiya connector) on the other, allowing you to connect batteries with XT90 connectors to chargers featuring T-Plug outputs, creating essential cross-compatibility between different RC battery standards.
- Safe and Reliable Charging — The adapter is engineered to provide secure connections that eliminate loose connections or intermittent contact issues during charging, ensuring your valuable RC batteries are charged safely and completely every time without risk of power loss or connection failure.
- Compact and Portable Design — Being a simple adapter rather than a bulky charging device, it's incredibly portable and takes up minimal space in your RC toolkit, charging bag, or vehicle pit box, making it perfect for track days, weekend bashing sessions, or competitive RC events.
- Authentic ARRMA OEM Part — This is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare part directly from ARRMA, guaranteeing compatibility with all ARRMA vehicles equipped with XT90 connectors and assuring you of authentic quality and longevity.
- Eliminates Multiple Charger Requirements — Rather than purchasing additional chargers to accommodate different connector types across your RC collection, this single adapter allows your existing T-Plug charger to work with XT90 batteries, saving considerable expense and simplifying your charging station setup.
- Essential for Multi-Brand RC Collections — If you operate RC vehicles from different manufacturers or have upgraded batteries on older RC cars to newer connector standards, this adapter bridges the compatibility gap and allows seamless integration across your entire RC fleet.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Charge Adapter: XT90 Male / T-Plug Female represents straightforward but essential engineering. The XT90 connector standard has become increasingly popular in the RC hobby due to its robust construction and superior current-handling capabilities compared to older standards. T-Plug connectors, also known as Tamiya connectors, remain one of the most widely used standards particularly in legacy RC equipment and many contemporary chargers. This adapter physically bridges these two standards, enabling the safe transfer of charging current from your T-Plug output charger to your XT90-equipped LiPo batteries or LiHV batteries. The adapter is built to handle the typical charging currents used in RC hobby applications, making it suitable for use with standard RC battery chargers rated for LiPo and similar lithium chemistry batteries. The connectors are precisely manufactured to ensure tight, reliable contact that minimises resistance and potential heat generation during the charging process. Whether you're charging small 2S batteries for lightweight RC cars, 3S packs for mid-range buggies and trucks, or larger capacity batteries for dedicated crawlers and performance vehicles, this adapter provides the compatibility solution you need. The quality construction ensures this is not a temporary workaround but a permanent, reliable solution to your connector compatibility challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use this adapter to charge XT90 batteries with my existing T-Plug charger? — Yes, absolutely. This adapter is specifically designed for exactly this purpose. If your charger has a female T-Plug connector output and your battery has a male XT90 connector, simply plug the adapter's XT90 male connector into your battery, then connect the adapter's T-Plug female connector to your charger's T-Plug connector, and charging proceeds normally. This solution is perfect if you've upgraded your RC vehicles with modern XT90-equipped batteries but your charger uses the older T-Plug standard.
- Is this suitable for beginners in the RC hobby? — Yes, this adapter is suitable for anyone from complete beginners to experienced racers. It's a passive connector with no electronics, so there's no learning curve. If you're new to RC and have inherited or purchased RC vehicles with mixed connector types, this adapter solves the problem instantly. Just ensure you're following safe battery charging practices regardless—never leave a charging battery unattended, always charge in a fireproof container, and use appropriate chargers.
- What batteries and chargers does this work with? — This adapter works with any battery featuring a male XT90 connector (common on modern ARRMA vehicles and many contemporary RC batteries) and any charger featuring a female T-Plug connector output. It's compatible with LiPo batteries, LiHV batteries, and other lithium chemistry batteries that use these connector standards, spanning 2S through 6S battery configurations and beyond.
- Will this damage my batteries or charger? — No. This is a purely passive adapter with no electronics or moving parts. It simply converts the mechanical connector from one standard to another. As long as you're using chargers and batteries that are appropriate for their respective specifications, this adapter introduces no additional risk. The tight connector fit ensures good electrical contact and minimal resistance.
- Can I use this adapter in reverse, connecting a T-Plug battery to an XT90 charger? — No. This adapter is specifically designed as XT90 Male to T-Plug Female. If you need the reverse configuration, you would need a different adapter. Always ensure you're matching the correct connector ends to avoid damage.
- Is this the same as buying a new charger? — Far from it. A quality RC LiPo charger can cost significantly more than this adapter. By using this simple connector adapter, you can continue using your existing charger while expanding compatibility across your RC collection. It's an economical solution that makes sense for any RC hobbyist with multiple vehicles or batteries.
