I've accumulated a fair amount of higher-current hardware and projects, but sometimes I need to use them in
lower-current applications. So I keep a few adapters handy. It's an easy project to make a few of these,
I also use different colors of SB50 housings to color-code things in the same way as I do with the PP30/45
housings. In general, I use red for most things, yellow to distinguish battery from load ports, and grey for
things like battery ports for combining to 24v. I don't need to be idiot-proofing what connects to what, and
so to keep things interoperable, I grind the "keys" off the other colors to make them all compatible with the
red powerpoles.
I also haven't found any real quality differences between genuine Anderson and other name brands and even the
generic SB50 housings, so I just get whatever's cheapest most of the time. DO pay attention to the contacts
that you get with them, as they can be sized for 10, 8, or 6 gauge wire.
