[Shop-talk] Battery Starter/Charger

[eric at megageek.com]

Bob,
Another option is what I do.  I hate those anemic jump boxes.  They are 
pretty much just an undersized battery with cables attached.

What I did was get some quick disconnection battery terminals like these, 
but heavier duty...

Then I put them on  my zero turn mower.  The battery I use in that tractor 
is a normal car sized fit and I put a high CCA battery in it.

When I need to jump start something, I can quickly remove it from the 
tractor, and attach the special jumper cable I made (with one end having 
that connector) to the battery and I'm in business.

Sometimes I don't even need to remove the battery from the tractor.

If you don't have a tractor (or other toy) that takes a car sized battery, 
and you can't find a proper jump charger, just buy a normal car battery 
and trickle charger.  It beats the jump box because it's cheaper with more 
power.

Just another option.
