Right, I'm also one that uses Power poles on my batteries, but I hardwire everything else. really, the only TRUE advantage to hardwiring everything is the strength of the connection(because a good solder joint is just as strong as the materials that are connected by it), so it does pretty much eliminate ANY chance of the battery disconnecting in an impact. But to me that isn't worth the convenience of a good connector so I still use 'em on my packs, & I'm sure I'm not a good enough driver to notice the tiny difference in electrical resistance either way.....
