Re: Can someone post this on FIRST q/a

Guys,
It wil be interesting how First responds to this question. The rules are not really clear in that they recommend the supplied connector as a minimum but indicate if you use something else you may not be compatible with other team's connectors. We use a Tyco/Amp connector that is available from Newark. It is designed for 100 amps, works well with #6 wire and looks like a larger version of the Anderson power pole connectors. We have used these for several years now. Remember to add mating connectors to your battery charger.
