If you’re sourcing battery connectors for energy storage projects, here’s what you’ll find at the OX Connections booth—and why it might save you procurement headaches later.
We’re displaying our complete battery connector portfolio at Hall 8, Booth W141, February 25-27, 2026. Unlike suppliers quoting 12-16 week import lead times, we stock Anderson and XT series connectors in India. Discuss your requirements at our booth, and we can typically dispatch within days.
Our display focuses on two connector families proven in energy storage applications: Anderson connectors for field-serviceable high-current connections, and XT series connectors for compact, reliable battery system wiring.
Anderson Power Connectors We’re Displaying
Anderson PowerPole connectors have become industry standard for DC power connections in battery systems, renewable energy installations, and portable power applications. Our booth displays:
Anderson PowerPole 15/30/45A Series: Genderless design enables any connector to mate with any other connector. Color-coded housings (red/black pairs) simplify polarity identification. Silver-plated copper contacts maintain low resistance over connection life.
Anderson SB Series (50A/120A/175A): Higher current capacity for battery bank connections, inverter DC inputs, and high-power distribution. Robust housing and large contact area suitable for sustained high-current applications.
Technical Specifications — Anderson Connectors:
| Parameter | Specification |
| Current ratings | 15A to 175A (series dependent) |
| Voltage rating | 600V DC |
| Contact resistance | <0.25 milliohms typical |
| Contact material | Silver-plated copper |
| Housing | High-impact nylon |
| Temperature range | -40°C to +105°C |
Anderson connectors are field-serviceable—contacts can be inserted into housings without special tools. This enables custom cable assembly for specific installation requirements.
XT Series Connectors for Battery Applications
XT connectors (XT30, XT60, XT90) originated in RC applications but have proven reliable in battery systems where compact size and solid retention matter. Our display includes:
XT30 Connectors (30A Continuous): Compact design for battery management systems, monitoring equipment, and low-current battery connections. Common in portable power stations and smaller battery packs.
XT60 Connectors (60A Continuous): Most versatile size for residential energy storage systems, solar battery banks, and medium-power applications. Balance between current capacity and physical size makes XT60 widely adopted.
XT90 Connectors (90A Continuous): High-current applications including large battery banks, commercial energy storage, and high-power inverter connections. Larger contact area and robust housing handle sustained high current.
Technical Specifications — XT Series:
| Connector | Current Rating | Typical System Capacity (48V) |
| XT30 | 30A continuous | Up to 500W |
| XT60 | 60A continuous | Up to 3000W |
| XT90 | 90A continuous | Up to 4500W |
Common specs across XT series:
- Contact material: Gold-plated copper alloy
- Housing: High-temperature nylon
- Retention: Bullet-style contacts with positive lock
XT connectors feature asymmetric housing preventing reverse polarity connection—male can only mate with female in correct orientation.

| Compact size | Moderate | ✓ More compact |
| Reverse polarity protection | Color coding | ✓ Asymmetric housing |
| Best for | Modular systems, maintenance access | Fixed installations, space constraints |
Applications in Energy Storage Systems
Residential Solar Battery Systems: Anderson SB50 or XT60/XT90 for battery-to-inverter DC connections. These connectors handle daily charge/discharge cycles while maintaining low contact resistance critical for system efficiency.
Commercial Energy Storage: Multiple battery modules require parallel connections. Anderson connectors enable modular battery bank construction with field-serviceable connections for maintenance and expansion.
Off-Grid Power Systems: Battery banks in off-grid installations use Anderson connectors for inter-battery connections and main DC bus connections. The genderless design simplifies parallel battery configurations.
Solar Direct Battery Charging: Charge controller to battery connections use Anderson or XT connectors rated for maximum charge current. Proper current rating prevents connector heating during peak charging.
UPS and Backup Power: Battery connections in uninterruptible power supplies and backup systems require connectors that maintain reliability over years of standby operation with occasional discharge cycles.
Portable Power Stations: XT60 connectors common in portable power stations for external battery expansion, solar panel inputs, and DC output ports.
Why Battery Connector Selection Matters
Battery systems operate at voltages (typically 12V, 24V, 48V, or higher) where current levels are substantial. A 3kW inverter on a 48V system draws 62.5A continuous—close to XT60 rating, requiring XT90 for safety margin. Undersized connectors generate heat, increase voltage drop, and risk connection failure.
Contact resistance matters in battery systems. Every milliohm of resistance creates voltage drop and wastes energy as heat. Quality connectors with proper contact materials (silver-plated or gold-plated copper) minimize resistance and maintain efficiency.
Battery systems also experience thermal cycling—batteries warm during charging, cool during standby. Connectors must maintain contact pressure through these temperature variations. Quality housing materials and proper contact spring design ensure reliable connections across temperature ranges.
Selecting Battery Connectors for Your Application
Calculate Continuous Current: Use system power and voltage to determine continuous current. Add safety margin—operate connectors at 70-80% of rated capacity for reliability and longevity.
Consider Voltage Drop: In low-voltage, high-current systems (12V, 24V), voltage drop across connections affects efficiency. Use connectors with lowest practical contact resistance.
Plan for Serviceability: Field-serviceable connectors (Anderson) enable maintenance and system modifications without cable replacement. Pre-molded connectors (XT series) offer factory-sealed reliability.
Verify Environmental Requirements: Most battery installations are indoors or in protected enclosures. For outdoor battery systems, verify connector IP rating matches exposure conditions.
