Doug,
I am expecting that FIRST will reguire the 50 Amp Anderson connector again this year. The connectors are donated and we should use this generous resource. In the past we had used a 100 Amp version of the Power Pole without failure.
Please remember that you don't have to use the wire length that come preterminated with connector. Order extras so you can add them to your spare batteries and the battery charger. Clip leads from the charger is likely the highest cause of failure in this connector. The sharp points on the clip leads damage and score the connector faces and produce hot spots that cause eventual failure at high currents.
