Mark,<br>
I too have searched for a long time for higher amp rated banana sets.
I think they don't exist in the size connectors (3.5mm and 4.0mm) that
are common on hobby chargers etc. The 15-20 amp ones are not really
adequate for us but will work ok although they sometimes get warm at
20+ amps which tells me they undersized for our purposes. That said,
we are typically not at or over 20 amps for a really long time in our
charge cycle as the current tapers off during charges. Now, if you use
an Iota to charge a 12V deep cycle and try to use 15 amp banana
connectors, they will melt on you as the Iota will try and push up to
it's rated current (55amps) through the plugs and into the battery.
Don't ask me how I know....<br>
<br>
I have used most of the ones you have shown in the examples and like I
said, they will work but are not really "correct".<br>
