If the circuit is a connection of continuous conductors, the device must be fixed to the power source by welding or the like to connect to the power source. Roughly speaking, this would add a lot of trouble to our existing conveniences. Take a car battery as an example, assuming that the battery cable is fixedly welded on the battery, the manufacturer will increase the workload of installing the battery, increase the production time and cost. And when the battery is damaged and needs to be replaced, we have to send the car to the repair station, strip the damaged battery, and then weld a new one.
This wastes time, energy, labor, and money. It would have saved us a lot of hassle if we had used an Anderson battery plug. No need to solder at all, no need to go to a dedicated repair station, all we need to do is go to the store and buy a new battery, come back and unplug the battery, remove the worn battery, put a new one, and plug the Anderson battery back in . This simple example illustrates the benefits of the Anderson plug, which makes the design and production process more flexible and convenient, reducing production and maintenance costs.
Advantages of Anderson Battery Connectors
1. Improve design flexibility
The use of Anderson battery plugs gives engineers greater flexibility in designing and integrating new products and using components to form systems.
2. Improve the production process
The battery Anderson plug simplifies the assembly process of electronic products and also simplifies the mass production process.
3. Easy to upgrade
As technology advances, assemblies with Anderson connectors installed can be updated and replaced with more complete assemblies.
4. Easy maintenance
The Anderson plug battery connector is not the plug we usually use, it is a kind of car plug, especially used in the car. Vehicles that can be used include electric cars, sightseeing cars, forklifts, golf carts, etc., and even mechanical equipment such as vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, and electric wheelchairs.
Types of Anderson Plugs

Dual Anderson Plug with Contacts: Specifications are 175A+45A. Two-pole main contact + two-pole auxiliary contact, suitable for battery energization and monitoring of battery temperature rise.
Installation Precautions
When inserting the pins into the sockets of the battery’s Andersown connector, be sure to watch for the latches to stick. When servicing the plug, special care must be taken not to allow oil or water to enter the interior of the socket; otherwise, it must be cleaned and dried before connecting.
When using various circuit test instruments, you should first understand their working principles and conditions of use, and unreasonable use is strictly prohibited; when measuring voltage and current, you should select an appropriate range to avoid damage to the instrument; it is strictly forbidden to measure voltage within the range of current and resistance; Please confirm whether the test equipment you are using is normal.
Bundle harnesses and wires properly and keep them as far away from moving parts as possible to prevent pulling and wear; avoid bending the harness too hard; avoid rubbing against sharp metal edges; keep away from oil and water as much as possible; keep away from high-current connector temperature parts (such as the engine body).
