We've used Anderson's forever, and they are awesome. The housings are very durable.

We use them at work in some of our industrial UPS' and have never seen them break down like that either.

It is likely that you may be getting too much heating from the contact resistance and/or sustained high currents. If the terminals are bent, the contact resistance may be high. I have also seen terminals where the silver coating was worn off, possibly leading to higher contact resistance.
