Connector current ratings are generally for a given temperature rise.

Radio control guys seem to enjoy pushing the limits on everything,
discharging bateries at 30C rate, charging them significantly beyond maximun
temperature, and believe it or not, soldering the cells in a battery
together end to end.   Then they wonder why the batteries have short
lifetimes, or catastrophic failures..

If you're in top level competition, then I can understand this, sort of,
because winning "the big race" is the only consideration.

Deans makes some nice connectors for this sort of application. Light weight,
and well made.
