I had numerous issues with APP's and my original, factory built K3. It had issues with severe voltage drop, heating APP connectors, low power output and DC power outages.
I lost count how many times I was told to and did replace the APP's on my power cable. (And it was factory made to start with!) It was finally sorted by it's new owner after I got so pissed off with the damned thing. The cause was dry solder joints (to the point where the solder was pretty much non existent I'm told) on the K3's motherboard at the APP's mounting point. I am not convinced that the sub 45 Amp APP's connections are very good mechanically unless you use the roll pin, which kinda defeats the one main advantage of APP's, their quick release capabilities. So, I am still not a fan of the 45Amp and smaller APP's but the 50Amp APP's and their clones get a lot of use here and in my motorhome as they do connect solidly but still allow disconnection when you want. ----- Jeff Cochrane - VK4XA Innisfail, QLD, Australia.
