Hi,

I have been using Anderson power poles for several years and have had no 
problems with them.

Radio Werx is a good place to get quality power poles and if you make sure 
that you put the poles together properly, polarity will never be a problem. 
Also make sure that you crimp the connection properly and I have never had a 
hot anderson pole connection.  I also have never had a polarity problem and 
I can plug any of my equipment in to any power supply, assuming the voltage 
is proper,  cause the polarity is determined bythe the anderson power pole 
connectors.

I'm not a big fan of anderson power poles.  You can make contact with them
backwards as a friend of mine did in his mobile flowing some fuses.  Also,
I think they're a pain to assemble, and they don't handle the current they
claim.  I've never understood why they're the standard.  If you want
something standard, how aboutyt a couple wires and some wire nuts.
Just my two cents worth.
