I agree Kev. My bienno has powerpole for load, coaxial for charge (12.6 vdc). I don't think the coaxial should/could be used for load.Ken ke4rg

I don't know... are you sure the cables just connect in parallel? Maybe simple enough to check with an ohmmeter but here's what I see on their site for this battery: Charge Connector: DC Plug Discharge Connector: Anderson Powerpole This tells me each connector has a different purpose. In fact, considering the electronics built into their batteries and the individual cells it kind of makes sense to me that one cable is a gozinta and the other's a gozouta. I've always charged with the barrel and discharged with the power poles. 73, Kev K4VD On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 12:23 PM, James Bennett <w6...@me.com> wrote: > There are two sets of cables so that the user has the option of using > either Power Poles, or their 110-220 volt charger.
