Fredi,
Looks good. I caution teams about severely bending the #6 near the Anderson connector. The sharp bends close in, can cause individual strands to break or pull out. I suggest 1" minimum bend radius when close to the connector.

Working in the industry in place that makes connectors and cable assemblies, and more specifically in a cable engineering department, I can respect and second that suggestion!!!

All cable has a spec sheet with a minumum bending requirement that should be followed as closely as possible.

I'll see if I can pull some data up for the specific type of cable used on the Anderson quick disconnect if I can.

Brilliant use of the butterfly clip for fast release! I may take a page out of your book on that one.

Thanks for the heads up, we will check them.
