Use andersen connectors to connect, and put a rope on it so all you do
is yank the rope if something goes sour.


Is that what those ones they put on electric forklifts are called?
Seems like that would work pretty good as a disconnect, good idea

I've used the stackable Powerpole connectors at work and bought a
stash of surplus Multipole cables for home. They require expensive
tools to crimp correctly, and I haven't tried hammering and soldering
them.

Those are different from the ones I was thinking about - they
sometimes show up at the
scrapyard, are usually rated at about 200 amps, but I'm sure they make
'em bigger too.- Hide quoted text -

I have the 175A size on my winch and the 75A one on inverter
batteries. They haven't warmed up noticeably in use.
