Restricted to the Anderson Connectors in the Kit?

My take on rule <R48> is that we are not allowed to use battery connectors other than provided in the kit. Why is this? In the past we have been able to use different (better) powerpole model conectors. The ones in the kit are only rated for 50 amps and we can pull way more than that through the breaker and we have seen these things melt/weld themselves together especially after they get scratched by using the aligator clips on the chargers. Why "must" we use these? Also, the 6 gauge wire on them is not very good.
