Depends on your application and budget. I just started using these and they are the best, but also pretty expensive. You can get a good solder joint, check and maintenance them over time to make sure solder joint is still good, and it has an any spark resistor build in.

These look quite large although I like the idea they are separated. Thanks for the reply.

Ya these are way overkill for 10amps

I think the EC5s are a good option out of the ones you have mentioned.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
Adrian, when you say a 10amp battery do you mean 10C? That's a very low C rating for a LiPo and a very low total current for a 6S system. I'm wondering about your numbers which makes it hard to recommend a power connector.

I have a friend who swears by Anderson plugs as they are much easier to plug and unplug. But you need an expensive crimper for them. I'm sticking with XT-60s for the time being as I always use dual batteries so the current draw is less. I do have Hobby King spark-less XT-90s here that I was going to try but a friend of mine said they were crap and cheaply made so I haven't tried them yet.

You need to exercise some care when choosing Anderson's. Great connectors but you must select the correct size for the current anticipated. It's not unusual to see 15 amp connectors on systems pulling 30 or more amps.
I was also curious about the OP's rating methods but feel he would probably do fine with EC5's if his system didn't pull much over 100 amps or so.

I found these to be AWESOME.
Secure lock, easy to soldier big wires, and can take a solid 200A with no issues.
PRC6 Connectors
Ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring up to 200 amps of current and 8 AWG wire - untinned; pre-tinned wire can be tight - these are some of the largest shrouded connectors available, combining safety and performance. To simplify your charging setup, these connectors are available in red and blue - we recommend using one color for your batteries and the other for your ESC and charge cables, so that you know you're always making the right connection.
If you are lifting a Buick they also make the PRC8
deal for heavy-duty applications requiring up to 300 amps of current, and able to easily handle 6 AWG wire, these are the largest shrouded connectors available, combining safety and high performance.

I mean 10000 / 25C / 22.2V. I just equate the 10000 10 amps.

Yes. 10000 / 25C / 22.2V
For professional applications I would highly recommend the AS150 anti-spark plugs.
I used to have EC5 plugs but; because of the sparks, the sockets will start to have corrosion over the coating and this creates a huge problem if you don't inspect and change them in time. The contact of the sockets will get weaker over time and at some point you will loose the contact and power. There are incidents like this.
Get the best battery connector out there for heavy lifting applications.
