Truth is that people got lazy and decided to use the trademark names to identify common items more easily. Just like "Coke" has been used to describe any kind of dark-colored soda in restaurants for multiple decades. Forcing the proceeding generations to use those widely accepted names for items within those categories.
You are preaching to the choir here.
In your initial post you stated "Batteries due have an internal resistance or impedance. " Thus conflating the two terms. You initially stated "resistance" (correct term) but then switched to "impedance" (incorrect term). I was merely bring it to your attention. Even when explaining something it is always proper to use correct terminology with a brief explanation to make sure you are not going over someone's head.
I also call a tissue a "Klennex"

Amen!If a waitress gives me a Pepsi her tip is out the window!
With utmost respect.

That is one way to put it. You will be surprised how often that term is thrown around in both the engineering and design world. Other engineers, I had worked with use that term universally with DC Resistance when it comes to the connector's "Contact Resistance".In the world of motorcycle maintenance, Impedance is basically a snob term.
Understanding DC resistance, voltage, power, watts, and current and a few simple formulas will get you where you need to go in the world of fixing bikes. Like why older VFR stators and voltage regulators and their connectors are junk and why Subaru cant figure out how to build a reliable inexpensive headlight connector that wont burn up.
Correct. In the world of aircraft maintenance and espeically in the world of police car two way radio work, which was my field for 30 years, I have never seen this type of connector used in high current applications. The spade connector is actually fine in dry, low current applications although I prefer a good quality crimp connector. Remember the old 1968 Chevy headlight connetors? HEAVY DUTY.
The electrical contacts on the NT rectifier regulator are significantly more substantial when compared to others. The connector housings are also different and larger than those commonly used on other models. I suspect that these were sourced from a quality supplier/manufacturer such as TE Connectivity.
For the most part, these Anderson Powerpole connectors would address these issues that you having with your VFR connectors.Correct.

More examples of contact resistance causeing melting and other not nice things. Many bikes have this problem One of the primary offenders is the cheep stator/regulator system most bikes use. Take a three phase stator, unregulated, and run the 6 wires to a big heat sink with a voltage regulator that burns up extra energy as heat in the heat sink.
I cleaned my connector and applied dielectric grease over a year ago or so.My NT stator connector had an issue. I wish I had used dielectric grease on it and maybe I would have prevented mine going bad and having to replace.
