Re: Difficult Battery Connectors

Anderson's use spring tension to push two flat contacts together. This ensures that you have a solid connection which can carry the requisite current and not fail on you. As a result, it takes about 15lbs of force to pull them apart. A solution to make it a bit easier is to mount the robot side of you connector to a rigid surface, not just leave it dangling.
