I'm pretty happy with it.

After a significant load, take your hand and see if you can feel temperature rise on any of the connectors. That's a good sign of a good cable terminal when it takes the load and heats up no more than the wire.

A thermal camera is nice for this but they are still a bit pricey...

Everything is still working exactly as it did when I installed it. No issues at all.

I decided to keep my battery at about 60% charge when just sitting plugged in at the dock.
