Charge adapter for everything

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.

I love them. I've been using them for a few years now in all of my larger brushless vehicles. I've never seen one get hot even on 6s/2200kV monster applications.

Big fan I am. Here is where I buy them in bulk. I've always used 30A, but from now on I'll be using 45A, which has a bigger metal contact, but still fits in the same plastic housing.
