Joe Ferris, Market Segment Manager at Anderson Power, was recently featured in Connector Supplier’s Rugged and Ready e-book. His article, “Designing for Durability: Next-Gen Sealing Solutions for the Rise of Outdoor Charging,” covers modern design features that effectively weatherproof battery connectors.
