Temperature rise should be minimal at 16A on a connection rate for 30A. I'd expect less than 20F over ambient, probably around 10F.

I'm thinking that for thoroughness I should get an IR thermometer and measure the temperature rises on the terminations I made after a few hours of charging. What temperature rise should I expect for a good connection? I have a 2011 Leaf, so it will have been charging at only 16 amps.
