nige90 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi, I want to rig up a plug in jump lead doofah and am after a suitable plug and socket. Thinking of the sort of thing used on fork lift truck batteries. Anyone done this and if so, where did you get the plug/socket ? Google and fleabay have failed me so far.

headhunter Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Have a look at x-eng.co.uk, it's run by simonr on here. He sells an X Jump which does the job I think you want to do. The plugs are known as andersen connectors (which x-eng use as well) and are sold by Durite in the UK. Durite sell through distributors which can be found on their website. Cost around £10 per plug.

FridgeFreezer Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I've also seen Dinse plugs/sockets from welders used, probably because they had them around but they will certainly take the current: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
