I have found Powerwerx to have a lot of neat power products for robotics and hobbies.

Their red/black zip cord is awesome for motor leads. The Anderson Powerpole series is very useful on and off the robot field.

Re: Pre-Made Anderson Battery Cables
 
I think there was something that came with the KOP that mentioned more connectors. we attach ours with a really really big crimper that will completely smash and break normal crimp connections. I absolutely hate screw down terminals for the batteries because they required me to peel off all the electrical tape every two or so matches and tighten the screws. even still, the wire manages to wiggle its way out of the connectors with the amount of bending usually required to get the big red Anderson connector to its counterpart. we crimp everything now, and its a lot less hassle in the pit, it just requires a special tool. something else we did in the past that I am not quite sure about the logic behind is to cover the space between the battery terminal and the crimp connector with some sort of clear conductive grease that I just remember being really nasty stuff and it was probably completely unnecessary.
