3.5mm Switch / Charge Jack

- Tired of removing your robot's armor after every match just so you can charge the batteries? - This lightweight jack makes charging batteries as easy as plugging in a connector. - Robots that draw less than 6A continuous can even use this as the main power switch!

At the same time, it connects the Battery to the plug's Charge and Ground leads allowing the battery to be charged via the plug.
