I think it's important to distinguish between IFI and third party manufacturers. IFI manufactured the control system. They are in no way responsible for the shortcomings of a product being used outside of it's intended application (the Rockwell Distribution Block)

As for our batteries, we just used standard ring terminals. We had 4 gauge monster wire, which was what looked different from most teams.
