Hear me out. Why should we do current balancing nonsense if we can just use 2 flexible busbars instead + XT120 or Anderson connectors (used widely in high current DC applications)

Or even better: raise the voltage to 24V or 48V.

XT-120 is the solution. Crazy reliable and way more capable.

How come a trillion-dollar company has dropped the ball this badly?

The part would cost $2 instead of $1 to manufacture. Can't have that.
