[NSRCA-discussion] Better connection on Iota 55 power supply

[brian young]

With the power poles is it necessary to buy that crimp tool for them? The connectors are reasonable but the crimp tool seams pricey for a few times of use.

my plugs to powerpoles. I have it so that I can easily either use my 
Iota power supply to run two TP chargers or flip it over to be run from 
a 12 volt battery at the field. Much better that alligator clips 
attached to metal bars coming out from the Iota. I did that initially 
as well.

The 6 or 8 gauge ground stcok will screw into the iota connector port and viola- you have a "permanently attached) set of ground 12 volt source connectors.
