Is there any difference between the (old) red SB50 connectors and the (new) pink SB50 connectors in the 2015 KoP other than the color?

Two of our new battery cables (with pink SB50 connectors) from the 2015 KoP, when connected together, require herculean force (needed to mount one in a vice) to disconnect. We don't see anything immediately wrong with either of them. We've never had this happen with two of these before.

Any suggestions on what to look for to see what is wrong? The contacts appeared to be properly oriented and in the correct position.
Can confirm, had the same problem. On the Andymark website it states that the pink connector mates with the red SB50, nothing mentioned about the pink one.
