Wiring A Plug For Battery Charging:

You all will have to forgive me. Sometimes my brain just doesn't want to function.....it can be so frustrating!!!!!!!! I want to mount a jack for charging the battery on Gizmo. I think I would need to put some diodes (to control voltage direction only into the battery) between the jack and the battery terminals??????????? My main battery is a 12 volt, 9ah SLA what diodes would I need ? The band on the end indicates which way voltage flows, right? Any help would be appreciated. Lloyd

Yea I realized it was a different connector right after I posted... Ha ha I thought somone went.to radioshack and bought a Mic connector and those aren't rated for any amount of current. The xt60 connectors I mentioned are good for 60 amps though , so.they are excellent for all those internal connections , quick battery disconnects , connects from motors to motor controller ect.
