Re: Using Anderson PowerPoles

Kirill,
We have used these for many years. While we mostly use them for motors, we do use them anywhere we feel that quick removal and replacement of a module is needed. In dual motor configurations, we will assemble the blocks for four contacts so that all motor connections make at once. It is imperative that you provide some method to keep the connections from coming apart. We will either ty-wrap to chassis parts on both sides of the connection, use a ty-wrapp across the connection or we will use the actual locking block that you can obtain from APP dealers. The contacts can be made to work with #10 wire by slightly opening the body of the contact before inserting the wire. Of course using the actual crimper designed for these contacts is a must. You can obtain one from West Mountain Radio, the same place that sells the CBAIII battery analyzer.
