XT illustration, female/male discussion, and reality conflict. Text says F connectors are used on batteries, but F connector in photo has unshrouded male pins. --Chklnk (talk) 03:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Not completly sure I understand the concern. Is it with the wire-side connectors being visible? Is this image better? https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliexpress.com%2Fitem%2F4000358105331.html&psig=AOvVaw2Bt5aIZbvZi61K0JGFVvPf&ust=1654147769855000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAwQjRxqFwoTCMioqOTCi_gCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAN

Go to the Team Malice link at the bottom, they have male and female illustrated as the opposite what this wiki shows. If the pins are female than that side of the connector should be called female. I know some sticklers will say that the pins are F and the body M, therefore the connector is M, but that adds massive confusion... --Chklnk (talk) 19:53, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


Changed the example to Deans connectors as it is clearer. There is some confusion with the XT Connectors in terms of the actual metal connectors being male and exposed, but the plastic housing bing bigger and a receptical for the other connector. It is confusing. The Deans example should work even though Deans connctors aren't used much anymore.
