Anderson Powerpole Connectors

Using Anderson Powerpole Connectors

These are IMO the best connectors for use on an electric vehicle. They come in several amp sizes (15, 30, 45). They can also be configure to make custom connectors so if you need to disconnect several connections at once there are no mistakes when they are reconnected. The connectors also come in several colors to aid with custom connector building. Enough commercial, I am not affiliated with this site but I have been using the product for many years. I must also thank NickF23 for this link. This is the best Powerpole site I have seen.

Using Anderson Powerpole Connectors

Thanks to all,
Chas S.
