[TowerTalk] PowerPole connectors

[Michael Clarson]

Bill: I felt the same as you for the longest time -- I resisted Powerpoles.
Ring terminals work just fine. That's until a friend was using them
exclusively, and I would bring some of my stuff to his place, so I got him
to give me a few. Put them on my equipment, now I LOVE them. OK - maybe
love is too strong, because one of the features of Powerpoles is they have
no gender. Its really pretty great to have all ones 12 Volt connections the
same. --Mike, WV2ZOW
