They come apart very easily. Just take a dental pick and lift the contact up so it clears the flat spring. Then pull on the wire and the contact will slide out. I soldered these (45 amp models) and they are much easier to assemble and solder than deans, plus I did not have to desolder them to put the shrink on, forget that at least once every 5 or so deans plugs I solder). I may try a set out on my muggy and see if they can handle the current, if so I may have alot of deans for sale!

For what I did here I doubt any other connector would allow me to make a bridge and still be able to use another harness for charging. I will post a pic of the batter with the bridge in, makes more sense than the description.

I will also post a how to with pics on how to take them apart... The instructions on anderson's site are not that great.

I was going to buy the crimper but see no need, I just cut the "wings" down a bit with dikes and tin the bottom of the "trough" and then solder the pre-tinned wire in. Nice and neat, no heat shrink and no burnt plastic if you slip with the iron. Good stuff.
