Overview
The Etronix Deans Parallel Dual Adaptor Plug (ET0855) is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand flexibility and efficiency in their power systems. Whether you're running RC cars, trucks, buggies or crawlers, this ingenious adaptor solves a common problem in the RC hobby: how to safely and neatly connect multiple battery packs in parallel configuration. This is particularly valuable when you want to increase your total battery capacity and extend runtimes without cluttering your installation with messy wiring or unsafe connections.
Designed and manufactured by Etronix, a respected brand in RC electronics and accessories, this parallel dual adaptor plug provides a simple yet elegant solution for connecting two Deans (T-Plug) battery connections in parallel to a single Deans lead. If you're a seasoned RC competitor, a weekend basher, or just getting into the RC hobby, you'll appreciate how this adaptor keeps your wiring neat and organised in even the most compact installations. The tool-free connection design means you can swap batteries and reconfigure your setup in seconds without requiring any specialist equipment or technical knowledge.
The beauty of this product lies in its simplicity and reliability. By using Deans-style connectors throughout the entire adaptor, you get a tidy, professional-looking connection that maintains electrical integrity whilst keeping your RC power system looking clean and well-organised. For RC car UK enthusiasts looking to maximise their running time at the track or on the bash course, parallel battery configurations are a tried-and-tested method, and this adaptor makes implementing them safer and more convenient than ever.
Key Features
- Parallel Battery Configuration Support — This adaptor allows you to connect two separate Deans battery packs in parallel to a single Deans lead, which is the standard method for increasing total battery capacity and extending your running time between charges without upgrading to a larger single pack.
- Deans Connectors Throughout — Using Deans-style (T-Plug) connectors on all connections ensures compatibility with the vast majority of modern RC battery packs, ESCs and leads that use this industry-standard connector type, making it a universal solution for most RC systems.
- Tool-Free Connection — The push-fit Deans connector design means you can connect and disconnect batteries without requiring any tools, soldering iron, or specialist equipment, making battery swaps and reconfigurations incredibly quick and user-friendly.
- Compact Design — The adaptor is specifically engineered to help keep wiring neat and tidy in compact RC installations, meaning you won't have loose wires or temporary connections cluttering your chassis or battery bay.
- Professional Quality — Manufactured by Etronix to exacting standards, this adaptor delivers reliable electrical connections that maintain full power delivery to your RC system whilst maintaining safety and durability.
- Increased Runtime Flexibility — By enabling parallel battery connections, you gain the flexibility to run packs in parallel for extended runtimes, which is essential if you're running in a tight heat at the track or want maximum bash time without carrying multiple single packs.
Technical Performance
The Etronix Deans Parallel Dual Adaptor Plug (ET0855) is engineered with the same attention to detail that RC enthusiasts across the UK expect from Etronix's range of quality accessories. The adaptor features genuine Deans-style connectors throughout, which are the industry-standard connectors found on the vast majority of modern LiPo battery packs, ESCs, and receiver packs used in contemporary RC systems. The robust construction ensures reliable electrical contact and safe power delivery when running dual battery packs in parallel configuration. The connector design is precision-engineered to provide secure, tool-free connections that will not accidentally disconnect during operation. The adaptor is compatible with all standard RC power systems that utilise Deans connectors, including brushless and brushed RC cars, trucks, buggies, crawlers and other RC vehicles. The electrical design ensures minimal voltage drop across the connections, meaning your ESC and motor receive the full power potential from your parallel battery configuration. This adaptor is particularly popular with UK RC enthusiasts who run longer heats at indoor and outdoor tracks, as parallel battery configurations provide measurably extended runtime compared to single packs of equivalent capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a parallel battery configuration and why would I need one? — Parallel battery configuration means connecting two separate battery packs together so they work as a single larger pack. This is used to increase total battery capacity without upgrading to a larger single pack, which results in extended runtime — particularly valuable at RC tracks where you can run longer heats, or for weekend bashing when you want maximum run time from your RC car or truck setup.
- Is this Deans parallel adaptor compatible with my RC system? — Yes, this adaptor is compatible with any modern RC system that uses Deans (T-Plug) connectors, which is the industry standard found on most contemporary RC battery packs, ESCs, and receiver packs used in the UK RC hobby.
- Do I need any tools to use this adaptor? — No, the Deans connector design is tool-free and user-friendly. You simply push the connectors together to engage them — no soldering, no crimping, and no specialist equipment required.
- How does using this adaptor improve my RC experience? — By enabling parallel battery configurations, this adaptor gives you the flexibility to significantly extend your RC running time without carrying multiple single packs or upgrading to a larger battery. This is particularly useful if you're competing at UK RC tracks or want extended bash sessions with your RC car, buggy or truck.
- Will using parallel batteries provide more power output? — Parallel battery configurations increase total capacity and runtime, but do not increase voltage. Your voltage remains the same as a single pack, so motor speed remains consistent, but you'll benefit from longer running times before needing to recharge.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The tool-free Deans connector design and simple parallel connection concept make this adaptor beginner-friendly. No soldering or technical expertise is required — if your batteries and RC system use Deans connectors, you can use this adaptor immediately.
- What safety considerations should I be aware of when using parallel batteries? — Parallel battery packs should ideally be matched in voltage and capacity to ensure balanced charging and discharging. Ensure your charger is capable of handling parallel pack configurations, and always follow safe LiPo battery practices including proper storage and charging procedures.
