Gene -

Any ideas where I can find a pair of *quality* battery clips to attach
to my existing battery charger? Probably 12 gauge wire to the charger,
need oversized clips to attach to the battery lugs. I've about exhausted
the hardware/electrical outlets in this area.

Thanks...hk
Here's a start:

12ga on the battery side?
12 ga. at 10 feet is only good for about 15A....


Well, I haven't measured the existing leads off the charger...but I will
when I find a decent supplier of clips. The leads are 6' long, though.


You may be stuck with somewhere like Mouser or Digi-Key. Maybe Newark
would have it, there is one in Hanover.....

I don't care for this design, but they're closer to you than
Hanover...

Yeah, I had a pair of those West Marine clips on my last charger. I
wasn't that impressed with them. The local chain auto supply stores sell
low-priced Chinese crapola.
