HRC Racing polarity checking adapter harnesses

HRC Distribution have introduced several polarity checking adapter harnesses pre-wired with the most popular power connectors. The adapters check the battery’s polarity once they are plugged in with a red LED warning for reverse polarity while a green LED indicates that everything is ok. The harnesses are available with 4mm or 5mm bullet-type connectors for the battery side and T-type, EC3, Tamiya, Traxxas and XT90 connectors on the charger/ESC end. An integrated balance port allows to use the hardnesses as charger adapters but also to make tube-style connector competition LiPo packs usable with reverse polarity-protected “RTR kit” connectors.
