Battery plugs, etc.

If your gliders are hangared or can be reached by wires, consider installing
bulkhead connectors inside and simply plug in the glider rather than
removing the batteries.

My glider came with Power Pole connectors for the main and tail batteries
but, adding a third battery, I was unable to find Power Poles locally. Now
I have a 4-pin bulkhead connector in the seat back bulkhead and, after
putting the ship to bed, I simply plug the chargers into the bulkhead via a
home made cable. Now everything is always charged when I go to fly.

Our club uses 4 pin jones plugs for battery plugs, 2 pins positive and 2
pins negative for redundancy. But even this is not fool proof after
passage of time: sometimes they need to be "wiggled" to connect and they
are getting hard to find now too. What kinds of plugs are other clubs or
commercial ops using? I'm not a big fan of the nylon molex connectors.
Someone recommended using PowerPole connectors. Any experience with
these?
