Is it okay to use this connector with this battery?

This would be used to run the servos/gyro in my Trex 600. Reason why I ask is the difference in the guage of the wires. The other battery that I have uses this connector.

Thanks in advance.

I think that connector is rated a 5amps.

heli770 is correct,the bec connector is rated at 5amp MAX,you will literally melt it if using it for a battery on a heli(unless,its a sub micro),and just ask me how I know

Thanks guys! Not that I dont believe you but reckon why my other battery has this connector and so does my BEC (the female end)?

It's all going to depend on how much amps your system is going to pull and you should have a reserve in case you hit the corners on the cyclic stick. Those connectors were fine with analog servos and Rx running at 4.8volts, times have changed.

So I should go with micro deans? I will have to cut off the end on my BEC where it connects to the battery also right?

Micro Deans are a good choice. Use the Deans on batt and BEC.
