I'm going to fit Deans connectors to some LIPO batteries. Obviously the female Deans socket goes on the battery but which way on the two bars of the "T" do the + and - usually go?
Deans connectors positive + negative

When the piece is sitting upright so that the two pieces of brass form a T, I put the positive on top (the crossbar) and the negative on the bottom (the vertical stroke of the T).
Here's how these guys say it:
"The Female side is usually connected to the battery pack, and the negative terminal is usually the terminal that is parallel to the long side of the conector."

The Dean's plug I have in my hand has got a plus sign under the solder lug of the crossbar and a minus sign next to the base of the T. They're molded in, so perhaps your connector has the same markings.

Excellent, thanks, that's the reply I was looking for.

Dean's plugs have the + marked in the molding; there are some knock-offs floating around that don't.
