Anderson Powerpoles

[Tubamanandy]

Anyone know where you can buy a crimping tool for Anderson Powerpoles (15/30/45 amps) in the UK ?

Alternatively, what alternative connectors would you advise for connecting eg. motor or battery wires ?

Deans are adequate for anything up to 30A. They're dead easy to solder and reliable in operation. I wouldn't use anything else.

Is this sort of thing fine or would I be better to use the proper Deans ?

They're XT30s, not Deans.

I think they take higher current. I am a big fan of deans as well

I use something like this for crimping Anderson Powerpoles. They are very easy to use and work well.

I got it but the usual colour difference wasn't so strong. On a small screen device it's easy to miss.

I totally missed it !
