Overview
The Logic RC Charge Lead: XT60~EC5 (O-LGL-CLX6EC5) is an essential adapter cable designed for RC enthusiasts who need to bridge two of the most common high-current connector types used in modern RC charging. Whether you're running a brushless RC car, electric aircraft, or other powered RC models across the UK, this straightforward charge lead solves the practical problem of incompatible battery and charger connectors. It's a no-fuss solution that belongs in every RC modeller's pit box or workshop, providing reliable connectivity between XT60 and EC5 connector systems without the need for complex adapters or workarounds.
As an RC hobbyist managing multiple vehicles and battery packs, you'll quickly discover that standardisation across brands isn't always guaranteed. The XT60 connector has become the de facto standard for high-discharge applications across many manufacturers, whilst EC5 connectors are equally prevalent in certain battery systems and charger designs. Rather than being forced to use multiple charging solutions or risk unsafe workarounds, this Logic RC charge lead eliminates the guesswork and provides a safe, direct interface between your XT60-equipped charger and your EC5-equipped battery packs. It's perfect for serious RC car UK enthusiasts, ready to run RC pilots, and anyone with a growing collection of electric RC models that use different connector standards.
Logic RC is a recognised brand within the UK RC community, and this charge lead exemplifies their commitment to practical, affordable solutions for everyday RC charging tasks. The product is carefully designed to support typical RC applications where both XT60 and EC5 connectors are commonly used, making it an indispensable accessory for maintaining and extending your RC equipment's lifespan.
Key Features
- XT60 to EC5 Connector Interface — This charge lead provides a direct conversion between XT60 male connectors and EC5 female connectors (or vice versa depending on your charging setup), allowing seamless compatibility between chargers and batteries that would otherwise be incompatible. This eliminates the need to purchase multiple chargers or risk damaging connectors through improvised solutions.
- Practical Workshop Essential — Designed for everyday RC charging tasks, this lead is an essential addition to your pit box or workshop that simplifies battery management and reduces the time spent troubleshooting connector mismatches. Whether you're maintaining a single RC model or managing a fleet of vehicles, this adapter streamlines your workflow.
- Logic RC Quality — Built to the standards expected from Logic RC, a trusted name in RC accessories across the UK hobby community, this charge lead offers reliable performance and durability for repeated use in your RC hobby.
- Safe Connector Design — Both XT60 and EC5 connectors are high-current rated, meaning this lead supports the power requirements of modern brushless RC systems without risk of voltage drop or connector failure during charging cycles.
- Universal RC Application Support — This charge lead is compatible with RC chargers featuring XT60 outputs and battery packs or RC equipment using EC5 connectors, covering a broad range of both brushless and brushed RC applications including RC cars, aircraft, and other electric models.
Technical Performance
The Logic RC Charge Lead: XT60~EC5 is engineered for reliability and safety in high-current charging applications. The XT60 connector is widely recognised as one of the most robust high-discharge connectors available for RC hobby applications, offering excellent contact resistance and current handling capabilities. The EC5 connector is equally respected in the industry, providing secure connections with minimal voltage loss during charge cycles. By combining these two industry-standard connectors, this lead ensures that you can safely transfer power between your charger and battery without the risks associated with improvised or makeshift adapters. The lead's construction prioritises maintaining proper polarity and contact integrity, critical factors for preserving battery health and charger longevity. Whether you're charging a 2S, 3S, 4S, or higher capacity LiPo battery system, this adapter maintains the electrical integrity required for efficient charging. The lead's design is particularly valuable for RC modellers who run multiple vehicles, as it eliminates the need to maintain separate charging systems for different connector types.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What connector types does this charge lead support? — This Logic RC charge lead provides conversion between XT60 and EC5 connectors, two of the most common high-current connector standards used in modern RC hobby applications. The XT60 connector is standard on many RC chargers and battery packs, whilst EC5 connectors are equally prevalent in certain RC battery systems and chargers across the UK hobby market.
- Is this suitable for all types of RC batteries and chargers? — This charge lead is specifically designed for use with RC chargers featuring an XT60 output and battery packs or RC equipment using an EC5 connector. Before connecting, you should always refer to your charger and battery documentation to confirm that your specific equipment uses these connector types and to verify proper polarity, as incorrect connection could damage your equipment.
- Can I use this lead with brushless and brushed RC systems? — Yes, this charge lead supports both brushless and brushed RC applications. Whether you're charging batteries for a brushless RC car UK, electric aircraft, or brushed RC models, as long as your charger has an XT60 connector and your battery uses an EC5 connector, this adapter will provide the necessary interface.
- What makes this better than buying separate chargers? — Rather than purchasing multiple chargers, one for each connector type, this single charge lead solves the compatibility problem with a modest investment. This approach is far more economical for RC enthusiasts with growing collections of vehicles and batteries, and it reduces clutter in your workshop. The lead provides a permanent solution to connector standardisation issues without the recurring cost of additional chargers.
- Is this cable safe for high-capacity LiPo batteries? — Both XT60 and EC5 connectors are specifically designed for high-current applications and are suitable for modern LiPo batteries across a wide capacity range. The cable's design maintains electrical integrity during charging cycles, which is essential for battery safety and longevity. However, always follow your charger and battery manufacturer's guidelines for safe charging practices.
- Will this work with my RC charger? — This lead is compatible with any RC charger that has an XT60 output connector. Common RC chargers from brands like Spektrum and other major manufacturers often feature XT60 outputs for this exact reason. Check your charger's specifications or connector type before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
