If Its never going to be disconnected, skip using bullet connectors.
Crimp or splice solder the wires, then liquid insulator or hot melt .
You can buy commercial waterproof connectors for splicing wires.
Bullets + shrink wrap are not waterproof.

For a very small price increase, make sure to get "Marine" heat shrink. Its designed for boats, and it has an internal coating of a heat-activated glue, which seals away the connection from any moisture or oxidation.

Well, at least you'll know where to start looking when things mysteriously stop working on you in future. That should also save you some time
Yeah, I guess the companies like EM3EV and Tongsheng who put out wiring harnesses using these connectors are a bunch of idiots, unlike the geniuses here.
When did Endless Sphere become infested with useless cynics? It used to be a helpful forum. At least there are still users like spinningmagnets and john61ct who try to help rather than just loving seeing their own words on the screen.

Molex Permaseal butt splices are a good option. You'll have to cut off the bullet connectors though.

Maybe , unlike you, they expect customers will want to disconnect the harness at some time in the future ?Timelord said:
