We're on a roll with solar powered battery charging, and battery
testing. Great projects! Great info!

A couple of years ago, Marty Eiler at Cal City told me about Anderson
PowerPole connectors, which he has fitted the fleet with. I've since
changed all my battery connectors to the 15 Amp PowerPole, and pass on
the recommendation...

And now West Mountain Radio is selling RigRunner fused power
distribution panels that use PowerPoles.

(Or at Powerwerx.)
What a great way to wire up an instrument panel.
I've done many panel installs, and taken out some unbelievable
messes. This could possibly be the best bet for future rebuilds.
Too many gliders have antique Molex connectors, DIN plugs that
haven't latched in 5 years, and other assorted rubbish. The PowerPoles
are easy to install, latch nicely, can deliver more current than you
need, and (somehow important in the maintenance of $100,000 toys) are
cheap.
