What connectors are you using?

Paul Taylor:
Please advise.
Thanks.

Dennis Toth:
Deans on all my electric components.

Best,   DennisT

Dwayne Donnelly:
I'm using Deans (right) but I would think T60's would be ok as well.

Ken Culbertson:
I have used both the Deans and the T-60.  The T-60 is a better connector if you have to do all of the soldering, but it is bulky.  Deans are easier to use after soldering and much smaller.  It took a while to learn how to use Deans, and you have to be careful not to get the cheap ones that can't take the heat, but all things considered, they are better.

Tim Wescott:
I use XT-60, because I'm lazy, they're easy to get, they seem to be as close to an industry standard as we have (and the cheap battery packs come with them installed).

If I had to source my own parts and assemble my own connectors onto everything, I'd probably use Deans.  But, see "lazy", above.

"Deans" is an actual brand name, and if I recall from some looking around on the web, they will sell direct.

So the way to know you're not getting the cheap ones is if the package actually says "Deans".
