Hi everyone,
I need some help please?
I'm sure someone else will have encountered this before. I hope so!
I have a bunch of E-flite 2S lipos from the UMX planes. They use a "different" connector that is used for both balance charging and connecting to the ESC. It is a 3 pin connector.
I want to use the E-Flite 2S UMX lipos with a regular ESC so I need the male plug. Anyone done this before?
I believe it is a JST-PHR-3 plug on the battery.
Thanks in advance.
Hey Simon,
I have a lot of connectors. Could you please take of pic of both ends that you need and specify male / female.
With that info I can be sure I what I'm looking for.
Battery is 3 Pin white connector. It's the only connector on the battery.
Thanks so much David.
Yes, that is the type of battery that I want to use.
This is the type of plug I need for the ESC.
I can't see that I have anything like that.
That looks like a JST PH2 3 Pin with the middle pin removed.
Is that original on the ESC?
Can you show a whole pic of the ESC? What brand it is, and so on?
Do you want to re-solder connections?
I have a 3 pin male end that fits that battery. It's yours if you want it.
Or change both sides to an XT30? Or the red JST stype?

Simon - looking at the photo, you got the Mig-15 UMX? If so, 2S PH lipo like this will do (connector I mean. For Mig-15, there are 2 versions. The new one needs 280mah to 300mah For the old one, 200mah to 280mah).

David, would love to take the 3-pin male if you don't mind?
Oscar - I have lots of the E-Flite 2S lipos, that I use in the Mig, and I want to use the same lipos in a new build I'm making. I have a little 10A ESC and I want the male connector so I can use the E-flite lipos that I already have.
Make sense? I think David's option will work for me (I hope.)
Does your plug fit on the UMX lipo David?
Thanks so much all!
I bought a couple of 6 X Parallel JST-PH Charge Lead For E-Flite UMX Series 2S Lipoly from HobbyKing.

I bought 1 for charging multiple UMX batteries. The other one I started cutting off the 3pin male ends when I needed to create adapters for UMX planes.
What's on the end of your 10A ESC you're using for the new build?
Just a positive and neutral wire, red & black. It's a 10A plush ESC.
So I'm just going to solder the outer 2 pins to the ESC and probably remove the middle pin.
The parallel charge lead was my backup plan!!!
The JST-PH2 end is all yours.
If you're in a hurry you can also get these...

Thanks David - I may go down the Amazon route. Appreciate all the help!
Thank you David. Thank you TEMAC. I bought the Amazon ones and have had success!
You can't see the connector here but this is the result. Plush 10A ESC connected to a 1407 2800kv motor.
This will be a little 2S, sub 250g pusher plane, like a mini Bixler. It's known as a Sky King F959. Not sure if Ken Ross designed it?!
The standard one is brushed and comes RTF. I wanted a more nimble, controllable version for playing with. Hopefully it works out.
