5.5mm covers ?

[skyhighdiver]

Just switched everything to OSE 5.5mm connectors
what are you guys doing to keep the ends from shorting together when Storing batteries

do they make plastic plugs or what

I just use a plastic valve stem cap off some old car tires we had around
With the shrink wrap on the 5.5 female end made them the right size to twist on

I picked up some from mcmaster also. I got the vinyl caps with the pull tabs. They are a tight fit, but having something to grab to remove them is nice.

when i was at the nats i saw someone we all know with a 99 cent pack of pencil errasers..(from wally world) .they fit perfect over the 5.5's and come about 20 to a pack

I have never had a 5.5 connector short out. Even using stainless steel tables as work benches. I just leave the heat shrink on the positive lead, female connector, a bit longer than necessary. No sparks yet.

I use heatshrink, put a 1/2" over the connector, with a 1/4" sticking out, add heat, squeeze the part that is sticking out (with caution since it's hot) and you're done...
