Double, yes. You get what you pay for.

Double? I got 10 *pairs* of powerpoles for $11. It looks like the ones
I commented on were $17 for *ONE* pair. If I misread the ad, I apologize.

And the powerpoles have been working flawlessly in my glider for the 3
years I've owned it. I'll stick with what I know.

Noticed this morning that APC UPSs use Anderson PowerPoles for battery connection.

There's also a broad and increasing base of users of Powerpoles, including RC and Ham Radio. So, you're likely to have access to tools and supplies in a pinch (like going to a contest and forgetting your charger or batteries and having to rig up a replacement on the fly - hypothetically of course)..

Hi Dan,
I misread the powerpole ad and didn't see that the price is for 10 pairs. My bad :-) You're definitely right the economics are in PowerPole's favor. I still like my AF connectors though.
Cheers,
Craig
