Re: Easy to swap out electrical controls?

We bought new Connectors for our batteries last year, and they come with the exact same connector, this connector gets inserted into the plastic case after the wire is crimped on. We didn't have any special tools but its not hard to get a really good crimp by bending the flaps over with a pair of pliers, then inserting the wire, and then snugging it up with the pliers. To get it really tight we just put the connector in a vice and tightened it down on the crimp. We never had any problems with doing it that way. Made the crimp kind of flat but also very strong.
