Would these charger lead be OK?

I have an Orion Advantage charger with mini croc's on the output leads, and I need to charge a battery with a deans connector. I was thinking I just buy this - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFun...n&ItemID=35585 and grip the banana's with the crocs - would this be OK, or would the connection between the two not be man enough for the job?

I was going to cut the crocs off and resolder a deans straight on but I'm worried about screwing it up as I've noticed there are two smaller wires going into the crocs together with the +/- wires, possibly for monitoring voltage, and they look rather delicate...

Battery is only 1500mah nimh, and I'll probably be charging at 3 amps for a half hour charge time. Thanks

you could just use the crocs yes but make sure they dont short out.

and 3 amps is far too much for a 1500mah battery,thats over twice the recommended charge rate.

you should be looking at around 1.5 amps to be on the safe side.
