    Anyone know where to get the barrel plugs for these? Want to convert my newer vex to use a lithium battery and want to convert the charger to use it as well.

    Prefer not the cut the one off the current charger.

    I don’t think you would want to use the Vex charger on a lithium battery. It will not charge it to its full potential.

    The Vex charger is designed for lead cell batteries. Wherever you buy the lithium battery . They should also sell the correct charger.

    Agree.
    A proper charger for the lithium batteries is 14.8 volts but comes with alligator clips which are not Vex/Lithium battery friendly. The Vex wiring harness has a nice female plug but the Lithium-Charger needs a matching male plug.

    Correct, that’s what I want to find. Don’t wanna use my vex charger at all.

    I have a few orphaned vex chargers sitting around I’d give away. But I’m on the far northeast side of the metro. Probably too far? Your best bet is to maybe buy a SP200 Power Cable from Vexilar? The size of the plug is odd, I believe 4.0×1.7
