Crazyflie 2 Battery Connector

Post by whoenig »

I am trying to charge some of my spare batteries using an external charger (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10217). This worked well with the Crazyflie 1.0, however the new connectors of the Crazyflie 2.0 batteries are too big for the JST on the charger.

What kind of connectors did you use for the batteries?

Hi,

Tobias is the one to know that, but what I know is that this is the same connector as on Hubsan quadcopters. So you can use cheap chargers that are shipped with these quads. I think other toys also have these same connector.

Tobias will be more precise when he passes-by :)

BR,
Arnaud

It's now a molex connector with higher current capability.
Male: 51006-0200
Female: 51005-0200

As Arnaud writes this connector is more or less standard for the toy helicopters now.

FWIW: I created a "spare parts" page for CF2.0 on the wiki and added these battery connectors.
