Venom Universal battery plug system

Venom have announced it’s revolutionary new universal battery plug system. Today’s four most common battery plugs, Tamiya, Traxxas, Deans and EC3 lack inter-connectivity and as such, retailers must carry and hobbyists must purchase redundant battery packs to suit their different vehicles or void manufacturer’s warranties by replacing stock plugs to give all a common connector. Venom’s new battery plug system features an easy to use, fool-proof interface that allows you to quickly convert batteries between any of the four most popular plug types. It features secure, low resistance, high current connections with the safety of reverse polarity protection. Manufactured with silver plated connectors and Zytel high temperature plastic housings, Venom Plugs deliver the power and flexibility you demand. Beginning in September 2009, all of Venom’s most popular selling LiPo and NiMh battery packs will come standard with the Venom Plug system. One pack, four connections, one easy solution. Worldwide Patents Pending.
