Today I had a good run at my local lake, for about 1 1/2 hr or so, little did I know what was going to happen next, my radio connection went dead, luckily I had been running my boat parallel
to shore, I thought first battery, I'm using a Lipo which started at 12.28V charge and after the run had 11.55V, so no way, hmmm, but upon closer inspection step by step I came to notice what you see in the pic, the WTC wires to the battery had corroded to the point of breakage. This is the only connector I had not shrink-wrapped but had it all RTVed.
Is this often the case that RTV doesn't necessarily insulate the wires from water corrosion? In any case how do you waterproof your wire connectors?
