For all teams, this is the recommended method of using the charger. Don't be tempted to use the alligator clips that come with the charger. The clips will damage the surface of the power lock contact, giving you high resistance and a good place to burn during a match. Teams that use the clips this way also run the risk of shorting the output of the charger when you need it the most. Extra pins for the 50 amp connector are available through Terminal Supply or other outlets.
