Re: Check your Anderson battery connectors

We've had a few issues with the contacts separating slightly woke the connector was mated. One of these was supposedly from the contacts having come off the retaining clips (not sure how, but I've seen this before on our battery charger ). On the other, if I rotated the wire, then the contact also rotated in the connector. We've instituted an inspection since they on order to catch these and I've had some spare cables made up on case we see more. I think we're starting to see aging issues with the wiring. These connectors are mated and unmated frequently and may be wearing out the housings and contacts.
