** The Battery Connection Should Always be made last when installing a High Voltage Kit to your LEV. Always disconnect the battery from the controller before performing maintenance **

USING THE XT90 Battery Connector

Our kits generally use the XT90 anti spark system. If these plugs are used correctly they allow for a safe battery connection which is capable of handling the high current draw the ASI controllers are capable of. Please follow the instructions or watch the video for more information on the XT90 connector.

The XT90 connector has a two stage process to making the connection.

Stage 1 - Push the female plug in to the male side to cover the first green line. Pause here for 5-10 seconds.

There is a capacitor in the female plug which charges gradually to the full battery voltage in this time. This prevents arcing which can occur if the full battery voltage is connected directly.

Stage 2 - Gently push the connectors together to connect the battery.

Soldering or Changing Your Battery Connector

High Voltage kits come with an extra XT90 connector in case the battery you want to use does not have the XT90 connector. If you are not comfortable soldering you can likely get this job done at a local RC hobby shop. If your battery connector has a red and black Anderson connector it is recommended to replace this as they are only rated up to 30 amps.

If you have not already purchased a battery we recommend you get one with an XT90 already on. Generally batteries with the Anderson style of connector tend to be on the low power end. While you can use such a battery you may need to limit the power on the ASI controller to avoid annoying cut outs from the batteries BMS.
