Overview
Connect EC5-equipped batteries to QS8-equipped ESCs with the Power Hobby EC5 Male to QS8 Female Battery Adapter. This adapter eliminates the need to splice connectors or replace plugs — letting you use existing batteries with newer high-current QS8 setups.
QS8 connectors are increasingly popular on high-power 1/8 and 1/5 scale ESCs (capable of 200A+ continuous), but most existing battery inventory still uses EC5. This adapter bridges the gap.
Key Features
- EC5 male connector on one end
- QS8 female connector on the other end
- Heavy-gauge silicone wire for high-current capacity
- Eliminates splicing or plug replacement
- Compact length for tight chassis spaces
Performance Benefits
Quality silicone wiring delivers low voltage drop even under heavy current — preserving full battery performance through the adapter. Saves time, money, and the tedium of swapping connectors on existing battery inventory.
Usage Notes
Verify polarity before use. Designed for high-current motor power applications — handles the same current capacity as direct EC5 or QS8 connections.
