Re: Anderson Power Pole for motors

I had the same original concerns last year when we decide to try them out. If you want to take a look at the datasheets for in-rush current and temperature rise at continuous load they are available on Anderson's website: http://www.andersonpower.com/product...onnectors.html

Our team loved using them and they definitely saved us a lot of trouble with screwdrivers in tight spaces when we decided to replace every Jaguar on our drivetrain with a Victor Saturday afternoon of our first regional last year. Buy more contacts than the amount of connectors you plan on using so you have some spares when they don't get crimped properly.
