As you mentioned above, Deans Ultra is good for high current. It’s certainly not waterpoof, but I don’t think getting it a little wet would be a problem.

Bingo! 2.74A after temporary swap of power lead to 18ga wire. Here are my results:
Low batt: 3.85v, PCB:3.79v, LED 1.00A</p><p>Med batt: 3.75v, PCB: 3.66v, LED 1.70A
High batt: 3.64v, PCB: 3.50v, @LED 2.74A
So now I don’t know if the problem is the connector or the power lead wires themselves. Outer cable says 22 AWG and it looks like they could be 22ga. Think I’ll still replace the LED wires. -Garry
I told you, I told you so
Alternatively I would use better and/or shorter cable. Where I can I use THIS one from DX hopefuly 20AWG. Still, connector is not good for very high currents as I’ve explained in my post above.
The cable I ordered from DX finally arrived after 110 days. :bigsmile:
I’ll be using it to upgrade my Pannovo battery case and maybe I won’t need to use 3S2P anymore for the X6.

Nightbird95 , try to fix your springs with copper braid just like some other guys are doing with flaslights at the switch end. Hope you know what I mean.
This way you might lower resistance. And think of connector issue!
