I love these things!
Been reworking some of my solar-elec wiring at home to make plug & play when I get back to the cabin.
The place I bought my 100ah LFP included a bat-post-ring term/8ga fine stranded awg/Anderson 50 harness and a matching And-50 with short leads/no ends (inc with my purchase price).
They also had extra short leads, a hd jumper clamp set and a Y connector.
If you have never used Andersons, or checked them out, they are heavy-duty and well regarded, come in a selection of amp ratings.
With the optional ends Ive picked up I can snap-couple up as desired my two bat-banks, one or both, to my scc and either of my psw inverters or charger.
Easy-peasy

Those look pretty cool. I have been using the twist ons for years on low voltage stuff. I like the lack of moving parts on em but these might be worth a look. Thinking of doing a simple car battery wire up for some led lights when I get further along.

Anderson Power Poles, as a ham radio operator, we love them! Come in 15 to 250+ amp sizes. 15, 20, 30 and 45, same size poles, just heavier contacts.

I recently bought a hydraulic crimper for these. Has a half dozen dies for wire size. Under 50 bucks, works great.
