Im looking for this type of cable but with alligator clamps at the end instead of bare wire. How can the bare wire end properly connect to a battery?

You slide off the handle on the alligator clamp and slide it over the cable then you crimp the cable to the clamp. It's just the same as a automotive jumper cable.

http://youtu.be/cCkoEyvu5Z4 this link to youtube should explain how to set it up. It has an adapter you can attach to the battery more secure than the clamps.

Probably not a good idea. First because there is only one set of clamps, which would require some unusual means to connect to the second battery. Second, should a means be found, the high charging current from a fresh to an exhausted battery would possibly burn out the small gauge wires. There is a reason that jumper cables are heavy gauge and preferably made of copper: They often are required to carry large electrical current,

You cut off the two connectors already on the wire, and crimp ring terminals on the ends. Make sure the rings are big enough for the battery terminal you buy. Get a terminal for the battery that has a post and wing nut.

This item only transformed, a top post battery to a side post terminal. I used them to connect several batteries together for a solar system. I had cables with eye hooks on the end and required this type of connector. Don't cut your cables,

Not that I recall. But its very simple, I even this the wire ends are color coded (see the red and black terminal in picture of battery?). Worse case, take a picture of it with a smart phone before you take out old battery and refer to that as you hook up new battery.

You need something in there for example I have a rechargeable battery pack I use. The cable doesn't charge the battery pack I have a separate charger, but it never loses connection or anything the wire is a solid buy

I used 18 and 16 wire size. I didn't like the screws that are used to hold the wire. Not well made. I use this for my Kayak battery to run my fish finder.

No cables with mine either. Be sure to use heavy gauge copper cables. I found some long battery cables with the lugs soldered on at the auto parts store.An inline fuse at the battery end is also the best way to go.

The power cord to the charger is 6'3" long. The cord from the unit to its end is also 6'3" long. It ends in a quick connect/disconnect plug. The alligator clamp cord plugs into that connector. So the overall length from wall outlet to the battery is about 14'. If that's too short you can order quick connect plug extension cords. They make one extension cord that's 24 feet long. I use an extension cord that's about 2 feet long with a quick connect on one end and two rings on the other. The rings fit onto the bolts of the battery clamps. I leave it connected to the batttery and the other end is accessible through the grille, so that I can plug in the unit without having to open the hood. The power cord to the charger is 6'3" long.

MC4 connectors. 1 male, 1 female. you can find them online by searching MC4 connectors. i bought a 2' extension cable(male one end, female other end) and cut it in half to give me a male and female connector with a bare wire end. get the heaviest wire size you can to minimize voltage drop. connect with the bare ends with a quality butt connector and shrink tubing to whatever existing wiring you need to feed from the panel. mine goes to a morningstar charge controller and from there to a 12v batttery on my camp trailer. works great.

It's the type of clamp on the end of the wires. Parrot Jaw is the most common. There are types that work better with side mounted battery post; though I've never had an issue with using Parrot Jaw clamps on any vehicle.

I cut the rings of the charger, bought the "Battery Tender 081-0069-6 Ring Terminal Harness with Black Fused 2-Pin Quick Disconnect Plug" and cut the rings off this too. I then soldered the two together paying attention to the correct polarity. If you can't solder, you can crimp them together. Then you can buy the "Battery Tender 081-0069-4 Alligator Clips with Black 2-Pin Quick Disconnect Plug" and use that for battery charging. The disconnect will allow you to hook up other things too. If you don't plan on using it for other things, skip the middle wire and just hook up the Alligator Clip wire. Good luck.

We use 22ga stranded alarm wire. It is very small and easy to solder and hide. I suggest that you tin both the end of the strip and the wire with a small dot of solder so you don't have to hold the heat on the strip long to connect them. I found that a low wattage pencil iron works the best. No you do not need to tape the unconnected end of the strip.

There are a couple methods that will work. The first is to attach battery clips to the panel cord, then when needed clip onto the battery. This is simple but you always need to make sure the polarity is correct and when not attached it would be good to not let the clips touch so the panel isn't shorted. Another method would be to purchase a mating set of 2 pin flat connectors. These are similar to the 4 pin connectors used to connect a trailer to a car. Connect one to the battery (best if the exposed pin is connected to minus). Connect the other to the panel (exposed pin connected to plus). Now you just have to mate the connector and there is no chance of a short. Regards

one end fits into the cobra inverter.The inverter has an inserted screw to tighten the cable in position.The other end i had to crimp battery connectors to fit on any battery with connecting poles.

It is the same connector on both ends. I could not find one with bare wire so bought this to cut and use as a splice between my battery and inverter
