It has three different power connectors on board. I'm not sure what you mean?

Yes, yes. Thank you for fast reply! I have this battery. How i connect the battery T-Connector to the 'U2D2 power hub' power connectors? In the pictures it seems totally incompatible....

Well.

I don't know how to connect the LIPO Battery 11.1V 1800mhA LB-012 T-Connector to the U2D2 Power Hub Board power connectors. They seems incompatible. Do i need a adaptor cable or so?

The problem is that battery uses a Deans / T-connector and the board does not have that anywhere on it. So, you need something like this (https://www.trossenrobotics.com/battery-wiring-harness) or build your own male Deans/T-connector to barrel connector or bare wires that must never leave the screw connector to prevent damage to the battery and/or accidentally apply reverse polarity to the servos.

Yes, tician. That was my problem. Thanks! Your answer was useful for me. You put me on the track.

I think it would fit my needs. However now I have another problem. I will release another thread soon to describe it.
