Title: Battery Cable Disconnect
Post by: fabr on June 29, 2016, 08:47:32 PM

 I've always used this type for panel mounting. Any reason I shouldn't? Never had an issue on the dragsters but never used on anything that runs for more than a few minutes.

Anderson plugs, like electric forklifts use.

I use the Anderson connectors at the battery on the dragsters for fast removal. I use the welding cable connector for panel mounting a disconnect at the starter. I have the disconnect switch (with alternator cut) in the dash.
