Link10 Battery Monitor
 

Well, I just installed a Link10 battery monitor yesterday. It's
working ok but what is the deal with the connector they used. Couldn't
they find a smaller one?...For pete's sake I had to use a jeweler
screwdriver to get the wires on. How long is that going to last?

Sorry, I had to complain to somebody.

Works fine for me - but I used a cable with #24 wires to hook mine
up...

(If you're an electrician, the terminal strip is microscopic, but for
an electronics tech like me, it is huge!)

Everyone should have a set of instrument screwdrivers on board. You
just have to buy an new set at Radio Shack every season because they
will rust if you look at them hard. :-)

Buy a set from Wiha and you'll wonder why you ever used anything from
Radio Shack. We took ours around the world with no rust problems.....

is the US distributor, but a search will find cheaper prices.
