how do you crimp these? I tried dimple crimper and it pokes a hole through the soft plastic and not sure what good a waterproof jacket is with a hole.

Maybe softer wire? They are only going to be waterproof on the wire end at best.how do you crimp these? I tried dimple crimper and it pokes a hole through the soft plastic and not sure what good a waterproof jacket is with a hole.
I did link to the spade connectors that work for me above. I am thinking about making some cables and sending them to anyone that asks and will cover the price of shipping and cable, since I do have plenty of spare connectors and the time is literally less than 5 minutes to make. That would at least spare people the expense of strippers, crimper, etc.Anyone know of a source for the decent quality banana plugs?
Source spade terminals for 10 AWG is a PITA, also. But that's what I'm doing.
I used the crimp tool I linked earlier in this thread. Heatshrink connectors do need a different die.how do you crimp these? I tried dimple crimper and it pokes a hole through the soft plastic and not sure what good a waterproof jacket is with a hole.
This ^^^^ It's important to use a single-crimp die for most heat shrink terminals, vs a double crimp die for most regular insulated terminals. I've found that dimple crimpers do not work well on either, really.I used the crimp tool I linked earlier in this thread. Heatshrink connectors do need a different die.
lol, I never used the heat shrink ones. I just thought they would be better.I used the crimp tool I linked earlier in this thread. Heatshrink connectors do need a different die.
I don't know who you mean by "you. But this thread wasn't about other power supplies. This thread is specific to the Riden power supply and they don't come with any cables.you should include a voltage drop of the oem cables on the $70 powers supply with #18-20 or what ever they use
Top balancing why proper wire
I see up with the oem small wire vs 10 guague wire with ring ends. with the 10g wire the power supply is putting out 5 more amps and running on current limit with the small wire there was a .3 volt drop on the wirediysolarforum.com
