I prefer the Corally 4mm male & female
but if you use these it's best to wire them up so you have one wire that is shorter than the other so they don't reach the wrong terminal

Corally's for me, used them for years now. I find you can make a much neater electrics setup using them. Just make sure you make one of the leads too short to reach the opposite batt terminal.

Depends on the packs you use.

Corallies for packs which have corally sockets. Deans for stick packs that have a connector on the end of a wire.

i use both but prefer corally by miles deans can get damaged on the male pins where as corally only get damaged if you squash them.

Ditto

Corallys have slightly higher current rating than Deans, but have the downside of being easy to connect the wrong way around if your not careful!

I started off with the B44 on deans with saddles (obv)

Then I moved to the Cat SX which was a pain with the extra wire so when I swapped to sticks I got corrally's and routed my wiring so it didn't go through the belt.

Then back on the durango I decided to go corally as this would make a tidier install
