Clunk Click Jump Start System, better than an Anderson?

[Penelope Stopit]

A little engineering could go a long way

[so called]

Sorry but ?

Are the clips for the rear screen?

I believe it's a continuation (from another thread) regarding externally powering-up a car to gain access when the battery has died.
The posts would presumably be permanently mounted externally (on an insulating material!), wired (hopefully via a fuse and at least 6 relays ) to the car's battery. When necessary, the q/r battery clamps would be temporarily clipped on, powering the cars electrics from an external source, enabling door and boot opening.
Do I get a prize, Penny?
Still prefer a (well maintained) Anderson myself. It only need to be fused for say 10A to enable opening, rather than for boost starting as on the T cars... on which I believe it wasn't fused at all?

Not fused, which is why if it shorts the battery goes up in smoke and potentially the car if your neighbours aren't up early.

You certainly do get the prize and 1st prize it will be

You have earned my utmost respect from now on, thinking about the insulating material won it for you

This had nothing to do with any other topic

I need to come up with a solution for powering a pump that raises the front of a tanker, it's an articulated tipping tanker

Need to be able to quickly get 24 volts from the unit to the tank pump when tipping is needed

Can't possibly run heavy battery cables along with the suzi's as they would break over a short period of use

Pump draws approximately 275 Amps

Was going to use 350 AMP Anderson connectors yet going by past experience I reckon they will slowly overheat, weaken and fail

Have decided to use the above method as explained by yourself

Posted here for anyone that doesn't like Anderson connectors

I have seen those q/r battery terminals in the past, even considered using them on comp cars (where you want instant & tool-less disconnection), but not sure they'd handle the current, nor frequent con/dis-connection... they were flimsy to say the least; easily distorted metal, and note the cable connectors.
I have more faith in Andersons!
Edited to add: Re your tipper, have you considered using 'welding' cable? Much more flexible and less likely to break.

Welding cable is a good idea, had thought about flexi battery cable

The snag and it's a big one is, if anything ever went wrong and a burning cable burnt through an air suzi (can't bring myself to fuse battery cable, never have done and never will).....................you know the rest

You've got me thinking about fitting dummy suzi's to twirl the cable around from unit to tank, even in doing this there would be an extra 2 x 3 meters of cable needed

Yes those connectors are useless, was thinking about removing the plating and soldering them, didn't know they were flimsy

Thank you for the suggestion, am all mixed up in the head now, will have a think

[Penelope Stopit]

TwinKam, if you're about

What do you think about these? They're rated at 1000 Amps and do look the business to me

Thank you in advance
