Not at all. I like just mating the plugs which allows the connection to easily separate without any harm or installing the provided clip to connect them securely. Dig around on the site and you’ll see lots of options and flexibility.
I have to disagree ... I used a set of Anderson SB50 connectors rated for up to 120 amps to load support my single G27 trailer battery with my truck when running my 1000 watt PSW inverter under heavy load, using 8' of 4 gauge booster cable. It's always worked well but recently while prepping the trailer for winter storage I discovered both ends of these Anderson connectors had corroded and melted - no wonder it didn't provide load support to the inverter the last time I had used it. :M Next spring I'll have to come up with another system but I sure won't be using Anderson connectors. :(
