Re: Battery Connector Color

Anderson designed these to only mate like colors. This insures that applications can use the same tooling while preventing mis-mating of different circuits.
The 3M color wheel that we use for identifying wire on the robot, also works very well for the multiple station chargers. The color wheel is available from Digikey, although the $30 cost can be tough to budget for.
