Anyone know exactly what this connector is? I know is a JST something..
I find some thats or close named JST mini, micro, mini micro, mirco mini, PH.. I have found it but don't need a hundred of them. Then I find a reasonable amount but its called somthing else and can't clearly tell in there pic if its the one.
This should be easy. LOL! Its a connector to a PS3 battery Lip 1359.
I need a wired male (or oppisite of my pic)
I want to mod my syma s107 with a connector. I'm pretty sure it can lift it.
Charging it will be done with the circuit board from the PS3 controller.
Worth a shot away.. Just need to be able to disconnect from the copper for charging, the battery fits perfectly between the landing skids and won't be removable (or easily) when I'm done. I used to fly my cats stuffed mice around no problem and weigh as much
Tierd of soldering new oringinal batts in and not lasting for many recharges at all.

I think he needs the header (the end that connector plugs into).

This looks like the fan connector on some video cards - the cheaper ones that aren't 3 pin. You might be able to unsolder a header off an old video card in the junk pile.

Doh, missed that part. Well then this may be the better route then (used as fan headers & for cordless phone batteries):

I actually de-solder these off of every failed motherboard that I get. I've used so many.

Hey Thanks Norm! I Looked all around today at work. looks like I'll just solder wires on to that. Cant find one with tails at all.
If I get a chance tonight I'll show you my plan.

The plan:

Put an access hole in the bonnet and hopefully keep the led. Epoxy the male end in the hole and run wire the to the battery in.

Secure the hell out of the battery somehow. I mentioned charging earlier.
Hmmm.. Might work might not! Fun cheap lil project for dead middle of winter.
Just thought I'd share! If this works expect a youtube vid for sure. :)

LOL, if you note, the ebay listing mentions the specific use on helicopters.

I'm not surprised that you couldn't find any with wires. The headers are almost always attached to a circuit board. They are fairly easy to solder though.

Yup!
I ordered the 20 pack. I think right off your link!
Solder no problem.. thinking about it, this might be better if the old battery leads reach enough.
