They are for a charger not jump starting. CTEK et al make comfort connectors. Get one with a fuse but only use it for low amp charging. If you use it for jump starting you will fry the cable as it isn't a large enough diameter.

To jump start the car connect the positive to the starter motor terminal & the negative to the engine or the erth lead coming off the gear box to the chassis

John is spot on. The cables I was referring to are solely for a CTEK, or similar, charger/conditioner and on no account should they be used for anything else. The cables should come with the charger.

Yes I have a CTek comfort connector permanently attached through the ply so that I can connect the charger to my AGM battery if not using the car for a month or so , just a few hours keeps it all happy .

John, I appreciate what you said. I am well aware that the c-tek is for charging not jump starting. What I was thinking of was an extension to the battery terminals so that an emergency pack could be easily attached in the event of a flat battery whilst out in the wilds somewhere.

Slightly different but my MGB has the battery under the seat. Before my recent rewire I would flatten the battery at least once a month over winter by leaving something on.

Fitted some heavy duty leads with an anderson connector that went into the boot/spare wheel well. Then had a set of 3 metre leads made up with an Anderson one end, and crocodile clips the other so I could easily jump of the other car, or a loose battery.

Like the one in this link - Ebay - Anderson

Reg, as JohnV6 said just connect your emergency pack positive to the starter motor terminal and negative to earth. That's what I do.

Charging connectors such as Ctek use are good options, they are fused for safety but would not be suitable for a starting current. That's a whole new issue which could be fitted, but easier is to connect the start pack to the starter solenoid on the starter motor terminal, big red cable and a good earth on the engine which are easily accessible under the bonnet.

Look at the Ctek web site and all cable options are available even a battery state traffic light indicator. I took mine through a gland,flush fitting screw grommet on the vertical bulkhead face. this connector then allows me to connect the Ctec battery conditioner and or a trailing lead to supply a further power socket for in car use.
Before drilling for this access be careful as to where you you cut the hole as you need to consider what is behind the panel and good wire location using the rear hoop to clip the wires to between the battery and the access hole. I fitted my gland behind the passenger seat near the top outer corner.
