Please remember that the current ratings on the Anderson connectors are the continuous duty ratings. These can be derated when used in an under three minute match. We have used the 45 amp connectors for at least 10 years now and have never had one fail. We use #10 for most applications involving high current motors. While it is difficult to insert #10, I spread the contact a little to help. Using the APP crimper (we got ours from West Mountain Radio) the contact is returned to normal and makes a great connection. As extra insurance, we add a little solder just to be sure.
The Anderson connectors can be stacked into multiple contacts that are also polarized. We have used up to sixteen contacts in one connector bundle in the past.
