[NLRS] PowerPole connectors

[Zack Widup]

Hmm ... interesting. I had trouble with Powerpoles when I first started
using them and crimping them with a cheap crimper. Then I bought a Powerpole
crimper and have never had trouble with one being intermittent since. I have
about 40 of them on various pieces of equipment that draw from 100 mA to 20
amps of current at 12 volts.
