Do the joints get warm? thats usually a pretty good indication of their adequacy... only if everything else is cool though, by which I mean if your overdrawing your batteries, then they will be warm, and some heat will be drawn away by the wires, which will warm up the connectors anyway (and this isn't good, hotter = more resistance = more power loss = more current draw = even hotter). If your pack and wires a cool, but the connector and joint is warm, it means its like a bottleneck and you need high current handling connectors.
