Kraton EC5 Connectors too tight/hard to get off

[Opua]

Hi to everyone, I have a lot of trouble taking the EC5 connectors apart from each other. Is there anything I can do? Maybe with sandpaper large grit size in order to smooth out a bit the connector... What do you think?
Thanks!

I had the same issue with the lead i use for charging. I just used some needle nose pliers to slightly squish the male bullet part of the connector. It doesn't take much, and its easy to go to far, but it worked for me.

Just squeeze the bullets a little, should work just fine!! You actually want them tighter.. after a few months they will loosen themselves up!!

Little bit of dielectric grease on the inside plastic may help, also disconnect them right away when the wires are still warm and connectors more pliable.

Make sure whatever you’re doing is not putting tensile stress on the wires from the connector, exposing the +/- strands will potentially lead to

This. A tiny dab on a q-tip, and swirl it around the inside of the battery plug.

I take a Q tip spray it with silicone and swab inside of the male plug and out side of the female plug and they slide easier.but you do need to do this every so often as the silicone drys up quick.olive oil works great to
