Battery connectors

Surprisingly, I find McMaster Carr is a good source. Close in the Midwest, and generally cheap freight costs. Can pick up some fasteners etc if you place an order.

I've used these for years. Only gone to bullets recently because my SMC shorty packs are only available with no lead wires (bullet version only).

Same for me, the only reason I've made any switch to bullets is because of all the shorties that use them exclusively. I've also used the Powerpoles in the past & really liked them, but I switched to Deans for the same reason I'm using bullets on my offroad cars, it seemed I was the ONLY person in my area using the powerpoles, so if I wanted to try someone's battery, I'd need something to convert to Deans, & got tired of it, so I just switched over to Deans for my onroad stuff. And I've never noticed any advantage in performance for any of those 3, so just use whichever you're most comfortable with....

If you find SMC's testing of various connectors, with trusted IR measurement instruments, the Power poles were right in the mix with all the other connectors.
