- Deans/T-Plug Connector Interface — The harness uses industry-standard Deans connectors (also known as T-Plugs), ensuring broad compatibility with modern RC equipment and battery packs across the RC hobby market in the UK and beyond.
- 14AWG Silicone Wire Construction — Built using 14-gauge silicone wire, this harness offers excellent flexibility and durability whilst maintaining safe current-carrying capacity for reliable power delivery between your battery packs and RC equipment without overheating or voltage drop.
- Simple Connection Method — The design provides an intuitive way to link two packs together, eliminating the need for soldering, custom modifications, or improvised connections that could compromise safety or reliability.
- Professional Quality Build — Manufactured to professional standards by Etronix, this harness ensures consistent quality and performance across every unit, giving you confidence in your RC setup regardless of the conditions you're running in.
- Compact and Practical Design — The harness is engineered to keep cabling simple and uncluttered, helping you maintain a clean installation in your RC vehicle without excessive wire runs or tangled connections.
Technical Performance
The Etronix Deans 2S Battery Harness represents solid engineering designed specifically for the demands of RC parallel battery configurations. The 14AWG silicone wire specification is crucial for this application, as it provides the necessary current-carrying capacity whilst remaining flexible enough for easy routing through your RC vehicle's chassis and battery compartment. Silicone insulation is preferred in the RC hobby because it maintains flexibility even in cold conditions and offers superior durability compared to standard PVC insulation, extending the service life of your harness through countless charge cycles and outdoor sessions. The Deans connector interface is the industry standard for high-performance RC applications, delivering reliable mechanical connection with minimal contact resistance and excellent reliability in demanding conditions. This harness is compatible with any RC setup running dual Deans-equipped battery packs, making it an extremely versatile addition to your RC collection. The parallel configuration allows you to effectively double your battery capacity, which translates directly into extended run times for your RC car, truck, buggy, or crawler without requiring higher voltage power delivery. Whether you're running 2S LiPo batteries, NiMH packs, or any other battery chemistry featuring Deans connectors, this harness provides safe, efficient power distribution. The construction quality ensures minimal voltage drop across the connections, meaning maximum power delivery to your ESC and motor, which directly translates to better performance and more responsive handling in your RC model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does parallel battery configuration mean and why would I use it? — Parallel configuration means connecting two battery packs so they work together to deliver current simultaneously. This effectively doubles your battery capacity and runtime without increasing voltage, making it ideal if you want longer play sessions without the need for additional battery packs or increased voltage levels that might require equipment upgrades.
- Will this harness work with my RC car or truck? — This harness is compatible with any RC equipment using Deans/T-Plug connectors, which is the industry standard across most modern RC cars, trucks, buggies, crawlers, and other vehicles. If your existing batteries and ESC feature Deans connectors, this harness will integrate seamlessly into your setup.
- What battery packs can I use with this harness? — You can use any battery packs equipped with Deans connectors, regardless of chemistry (LiPo, NiMH, LiFe, etc.) or capacity, as long as both packs have the same nominal voltage. For example, you can connect two 2S LiPo batteries or two 6-cell NiMH packs to effectively double your runtime.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The Etronix Deans 2S Battery Harness is straightforward to use—simply connect your two battery packs to the input connectors, and the harness output connects to your RC equipment. No soldering, no technical expertise required. It's an excellent entry point for anyone learning about battery configuration options.
- What's the difference between parallel and series configurations? — In parallel configuration (this product), two packs work together to increase capacity and runtime while maintaining the same voltage. In series configuration, packs are connected to increase voltage instead. Etronix makes separate harnesses for each configuration, so choose based on your specific power requirements.
- Is the 14AWG silicone wire safe for high-discharge batteries? — Yes, 14AWG silicone wire is specifically chosen for parallel battery applications because it safely handles the higher current draw from dual battery packs whilst minimising voltage drop and heat generation, making it suitable for both casual bashers and more demanding RC applications.
