Re: Black Battery Plug contest from AndyMark

2. The plug insulates the terminals inside of the Anderson connector.

Now, here is the neat part:

5 random FIRST teams got a special BLACK plastic battery plug. Follow the previous link for more information. In a nutshell, these plugs give those 5 teams a $100 discount off of AndyMark products.

Our marketing department conjured up this idea while watching a movie about a boy in a chocolate factory.

Enjoy,

We didn't get the Black Plug but I appreciate your including these white plugs in our kits. Thanks!
