Since someone has posted about using the clips to attach to the Anderson plugs, I feel I need to address that for two reasons. The first is that it is impossible not to scratch the surface of the contact using this method. The scratches reduce the effective contact area to a fraction of what is needed. The result is a high resistance contact that is prone to heating. The heat can reach a point where the connector will actually melt and burns are also possible.
The second, is not as obvious. The clips are now connected to a battery that is capable of producing currents high enough to weld. If they were to short together not only would this current flow but a high risk of battery damage or fire could result. Do not use the clips connected to the Anderson plug contacts to charge batteries.
If I see this at an event, I will remind you. The Anderson plug with contacts is listed for $3.50 on the AndyMark site. Pretty cheap insurance considering.
