e-Electric Conversions > how do you deal with the spark?

Hi all-
I have a master jeti 77-O-heli ESC for a 10S application. Each time I connect the batt pack to the ESC, I have a BIG spark. The spark is so strong and wear the connector terminal quickly. How do you guys deal with this spark? ignore it or have a patch for it?

Ignore it for now..

Soon as my Deans wear out (pretty soon ) I am going to use the Power Pole connectors. The arcing is much less and they seem to last longer IMO.

I wonder why the arcing is less. perhaps the extra resistance of the powerpoles helps the spark. I use 10s on my joker with a kontronik controller, and although there is some sparking, it's not as much even as my old 24 cell logo 20. not sure why, but I guess the kontronik doesn't draw as much initial current. some people have installed a resistor that allows a little juice to get to the controller, so the capacitors are precharged and that stops the spark.

Rhett... I can't fly, luckily the HC Profi Can!
