Abstract:
1. A universal battery connector system for radio controlled devices, adaptable for interchangeable use with different types of battery connection plugs having electrically conductive contacts, comprising: a universal battery plug; a first adaptor configured for conductively coupling the universal battery plug to electrically conductive contacts on a first type of battery connection plug, wherein the first adaptor includes first adaptor terminals having two generally rectangular terminal openings configured for slide fit reception of the electrically conductive contacts on the first type of battery connection plug and universal contacts configured for connection to the universal battery plug, wherein the electrically conductive contacts on the first type of battery connection plug has first and second generally rectangular electrically conductive male contacts, the first male contact having a first width and the second male contact having a second width narrower than the first width; a second adaptor configured for conductively coupling the universal battery plug to electrically conductive contacts on a second type of battery connection plug, wherein the second adaptor includes second adaptor terminals having a first terminal opening with a generally square cross-section and the second terminal opening with a generally semi-circular cross-section, both terminal openings configured for slide fit reception of the electrically conductive contacts on the second type of battery connection plug and universal contacts configured for connection to the universal battery plug, wherein the electrically conductive contacts on the second type of battery connection plug has first and second electrically conductive female contacts, the first female contact having a generally square cross-section and the second female contact having a generally semi-circular cross-section; and wherein the universal battery plug is configured to interchangeably connect to either the first adaptor or the second adaptor.
