Battery quick disconnects

[bassindude]

Had to do a partial Change to the wiring on my Jon boat so I could pull the batteries quickly.  Reason for this is I'm keeping the boat in a storage unit and it has no power to run the onboard charger.  Thought I'd share a few pics I took on what I did.
Takes about 30 seconds to remove each battery and put it in the truck.

Nice and clean looking.  Tks for sharing the setup with us.

That looks fantastic!  Are those the connectors they use for welders?  I made a couple sets of plug in jumper cables with the welding plugs / sockets a long time ago.

Thanks Donald. 

The plugs are called Anderson plugs or something of the sort.  I've seen bigger ones used on electric fork lifts.  That's where I got the idea.   If I had to do it again I would use bigger junction boxes.  It gets tight pretty when you use #6 wire.   The next size up would have perfect.

Thats a handy and clean install. Good job.
The time spent doing that will be saved time and time again.

Very neat install! # 6 cable is enough. The best is #6 welding cable, pricey but well worth it, the strands are very fine to carry high amp loads. That's a very nice solve for a problem.
