From memory I used the 10mm and just did like half crimp and then rotated the lug around and crimped again. Sometime I get the tags too, I just roll it around and crimp again. Thanks for watching!
6mm Twin Core Automotive is about 10AWG ish, it's about 4.7mm². I used the terminals that came with the plugs. Generally the terminals that come with genuine Anderson plugs can take up to about 16mm² which from memory is about 6AWG. Some knock-off Andos I've seen would be lucky to fit 8mm² in. Thanks for watching.
Anderson Plugs were invented by Anderson Power Products. The company dates back to 1877, founded by brothers Albert & Jonah Anderson in Boston, Massachusetts. The 2 pole power connecters were first invented in 1953 and the current design was introduced in 1973. Wow, didn't think they'd been around for that long haha and still the same design today.
Hi mate, the Anderson plugs have markings for 'pos' and 'neg' and the plug only goes in one way. When the '+' and '-' facing up the lug goes in with the nipple up and the lip down so it clips over the spring. Thanks for watching
It was either the blue flag or reflective silver shed wall 😅 I've got a better back drop in our newer videos but it is still a work in progress, working on building an office and a workshop space, stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
as always, always well covered, less said about the off-key intro though 😛✌🏻
😂
What size Hydrulic Lugs did you use, mine always flair out the sides,,Cheers

6mm auto cable doubled over, do you know which size terminals you used? 10-12, 8 or 6 AWG?

@@ChaseTheWeekend YEP, 6 AWG is the standard terminal.

yeah nah---ill solder mine
No worries! Solder is fine too, I'm just not a super fan of using it on flex.
In the Aviation world we don’t solder ANY wiring connections for exactly the reasons he mentioned
Back ground using not necessary, very annoying
