Hi, I recently got my Pegasus Nyx 101 mount.
I would like to use the power output from mount and feed it to the UPB, so I am planning on making a DYI power cable that connects the mount with the powerbox.
Thus, I would like to know about the polarity that the XT60 connector has to have.
It would be of a great help
Always, thank you for the fantastic products!

The polarity is indicated on the Ultimate Powerbox V2 itself :

Thank you, rpineau!! Never thought it would be under my nose!
I have my power box covered with 3D printed mounting bracket on that side, so never bothered to check the box itself.
It was a great help!

For what it's worth, the XT plugs have the polarity molded into the shell. Square side is power, tapered side is ground.
