Since I’m working on my new build. What kind of connector should I get? I want to replace my current connector for 5amp to 10amp charging. My issue is… These companies don’t put data sheet on their website. I need current rating. It’s getting annoying. Lol
Current connector: DC 5.5*2.5 bullet connector.
Cells: 12s 4p (Molicel 4200mAh x 4 = 16.8ah, 725.8wh)
I’d go with XT60, there is a panel mount male connector available

XT30 are good for high currents.
GX16 is nice as you can have a threaded cap on it, stays much better than a soft plug. Some people prefer GX12 for the size.
Whatever you go with its usually best to have the female end on the board and male end of’n the charger. It’s a bit counterintuitive but as the board is the thing out in various conditions, the charger pins are at a higher risk of something bridging them. Female plugs will avoid this more than male plugs. If the charger is only plugged into the wall while it’s being used male ends will be perfectly safe on it.

We have a whole thread of connectors but I like GX-16-2 or SF12
There’s another one too but I don’t recall what it was called
