This is the reason it is very easy to plug and unplug for users in this RC battery connector type. All the solder joint that is exposed need heat shrink for insulation purpose.

When do you need to check spark plug wires?

Whether you do a complete tune-up or only change the spark plugs, spark plug wires (also known as ignition cables) should always be checked first. This is necessary due to the aging of the spark plug wires from exposure to extreme temperatures (hot and cold), engine chemicals (oil, grease, coolant, etc.) and electrical stresses.
