I had nothing but misery with Anderson connectors. Bad fit, difficult connect and disconnect and decomposition. I quit in frustration.
The image below makes it hard to see the pins but they are cross split. For a reason.
When the socket wears down, insert a knife tip into the cross plug splits and spread the pins. This is commercial truck stuff and trucker's would throw things at anyone recommending an Anderson Pole Connector...
