Re: Check your Anderson battery connectors

We've had similar problems at each of the bolt connections (main breaker, battery, and PDP), but never at the Andersons. About two-thirds of our connections are factory, and the other third are hand made in house, but tested after crimp and install. A properly crimped and seated Anderson connection (whether the battery or power pole style) will actually make better connection when stressed almost up to the point that it separates.
