Just thought I would point this out. I may buy one just to have because you never know now do you.

That could come in handy. I'd like to see the junction under the boot.

While they do provide the bare leads, it's interesting that they didn't include PowerPoles, my connector of choice. I thought they were pretty popular.

Didn't even catch the PP deal, I switched from deans to TRX connectors a while back because I like them better. I had considered the PP's though.

I love the PP's because I never need Y-adapters to run different packs in series. :-)

Plus, for me, they're the easiest to solder and cheap to buy in bulk.

saw it at the lhs a few days ago...although the numbers are different...

13.95 vs 32.99

and there are bare leads for your power poles

I have seen these before as well...a friend has one and he loves it

A friend of mine has a Racer's Edge charger that has that integrated into it. I wouldn't mind having something like that for my Hyperion though. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Brian, how good are the power poles? I have always wondered if they can keep up with the current demands like deans can?

Those PPs are comparable to Deans, but they make PPs MUCH larger. I've seen them over 100 amps and I'm sure you can get bigger. The military uses those on aircraft, tanks, etc. so they can't be too bad (military stuff is more cheap than good, but...)

I can't say I would back that in my experience. The products I have been a part of manufacturing in the past to mil-spec standards were some of the best we made hands down. Mil-spec has very tough requirements that far exceed what most end users require by a long shot.

True, but the lowest bidder usually gets the contract

We have a elec pallet jack @ work that has some powerpoles that are the size of a deck of cards each. They are rated for several hundred amps and work well enough. Don't know if you want those on your car tho

I have the multi- charge adapter and love it.

Big power poles are often found at the robot places.....

yup, we use em on our robots!

The larger power poles are very nice, but i have found the smaller ones pop off way too easily. Well...enough that we no longer use them in competitive settings.
