I always had an idea of using an Anderson connector inside the engine bay to allow access to the battery for jump starting / charging purposes.
After playing around with the connectors, and the limited space around where I was hoping to install it, I thought I would abandon that idea since I felt that my knuckles would probably get badly damaged. And also if I didn't have an Anderson connector adaptor with me, somebody with standard jump leads wouldn't be able to help.
I bought some 250A heavy duty remote battery charging posts. For the positive, I tucked the connector up and under as far as I could to keep accessible, above the cooling water pipes and inside the battery compartment. A cable was then run to the battery terminal.
For the negative side, I cut down the post, turned it down in the lathe, drilled a hole through the centre and bolted it to the chassis using a coutersunk set screw. This bolts onto the chassis where the main negative battery cable connects to the chassis.
Altogether a more funtional use of connection in case it is ever needed.
