In the kit again this season, there were two different types of battery lugs: the silver compression ones, and the copper-looking solderless ones with the screws. We've used both over the years. The screw-fastened ones tend to lose the wire after a while, while the silver ones work a lot better for us, but I'm fairly certain we don't have a perfect crimp on them. The tool AndyMark sells to crimp them is about $200, and while I'd imagine there are cheaper ones out there, I'm not sure we can justify that with our current budget.

If your team is using something other than these two kit options, can you point me to them and let me know how they're working out for you? I'm interested in exploring alternatives this season.
