cheers mark but does it matter which one is the live side

[DIJ]

They usually have the +/- printed on them. Black goes to the round side and Red to the side with the straight edge.

No problem mate, it's actually quite hard to see unless you're looking for it

I'm going to re-do mine as well, but I'm torn between using these or standardising on the XT-60 connectors that HK seem to use now

i must admit that i am finding the ec3's much easier to use and they are more compact .I only use upto 11.1 3s max 60c so i cant see me having any problems with the curent flow.
