Boundmotor Octopus 8a charging port(3D printed). Coming soon...

I designed this because I don’t understand why Boundmotor is using 5.5MM x 2.1MM Female DC Power Jack. It is limited to 4 amp. I will not wait for 9hrs just to charge my 12s 8p. That’s crazy. lol Anyways, This is GX 16 3 Pins connector. Current rating is 8a. That’s enough. I’m going keep the stock connector so I could charge slow or dual charge. I’m just waiting until I get my parts from China. Then I will release this file for free. I tried to keep the cosmetic as close as the original. I think July 10 I will release it. Maybe…

The current rating for a GX-16 3 Pin is only 7A short term, and 5A long term.
At 7A the plug overheats in 20 minutes.

Not sure which GX16 you’re using but I’ve had one on my board for about a year and it never gets hot at 7A even after a 2hr charge.

yeah disagree. I charge my board at 7 amps with a gx16-3 and it barely gets wam

GX-16 3 Pin for a 16s battery at 8.4A. Swapped to a LLT M16 Connector and didn’t have any issues. Maybe the stock Vsett 10+ connectors are shit!

I check couple manufacturers online. They all have different specs. Some say 7amp(3pins), 8amp(3pins) or 15 amp(2pins). I guess the quality is better than others.
