Connect the red wire of each battery to the red on the esc. Same goes for black wires. You need to make some connectors

[lenny]

Go to OSE home page, Than to RC boat links, Than at top of page is Tips & INFO , look in batteries tips & info.
Than go to Q & A SEARCH FOR 5.5 Y connectors or Y deans connectors,
Go and do search in charger & battery info.
