Wired

Went to Home Despot and bought 40' each of red and black 14 gauge, 10' of 6 gauge and 5' of three phase 10 gauge. This is a lot more wire than I expect to use, but I don't want to go back.
My Anderson connectors came in, too. They make a really solid click when mated, but I'm not sure how I'm going to like them long term. My motor guy says they heat up, which might not be good. He said he has a better connector and is going to send some in the mail with the motor, which ships out tomorrow and should be here later this week.
82 crimps later all the battery Andersons are installed. I don't particularly like the high amp Andersons (too big) so I'm gonna see if I can get all 20 connectors into a 6 gauge crimp instead of the 2. To be continued...
