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.
Never paid much attention to charger clips. They all seem to work
fine with a wiggle. Light wire.
Jumper cable clips are the ones I pay attention to.
Seen a lot of guys think they had a connection when they didn't.
Listening to the alt on the running vehicle tells the tale.
Same with the chargers I've used. Go by the needles and hum.
Might try ****ing on it as a final test.
Reminds me of the time me and 3 mates stood on the bumper and ****ed
on the generator in my '61 Pontiac to put out the fire.
