What would you use instead? Particularly given the desire for a
genderless
connector that can carry considerable current (20+ Amps)?
Considering these are used for carrying polarized power signals, why do
you want/require that they be "genderless?" There's a very good reason
that wall outlets aren't hermaphroditic.
The only reasonable argument I've seen is that it allows charging
batteries without "adapters." But, given that improper charging of many
modern battery technologies can be dangerous if a specialized charger
isn't used, making it easy to connect a 13.4V, 20A regulated supply to
a 12V lithium pack doesn't seem wise.
