Bumped into these over on Sailing Anarchy... the second article is about battery banks... interesting (and surprising).

Great articles.. think I'll go get a ratchet crimper.
I do use a melting heatshrink inside the heat shrink tubing to resistance to moisture in my connectors. (Harbor Freight Heat shrink tubing kits)

Will have to look for the ratchet crimper.

Found one (where else)

Great Post!!

I just picked up Nigel Calders book on Mech and Elec systems. This is another great tool for the tool box.
