Installing Charger Tap Cable on my Car Battery

I decided that the solution. To my field charging problem is to revisit i stalling taps off my Lexus CT200H starter battery. Its a small 12V 35-45 Ah battery, but I run the engine while charging so it keeps it charged, I read this also increases the voltage to 14V, 



I ordered these today. I could have just cut off the XT60 and solder on banana plugs, but I am not in the mood to build the cables as I did last time. I also think this is safer. I have plenty of EC5 to banana plugs I have made over the years. 

I will simply pull the battery, screw on the taps, and voila, battery power for my iCharger 208B.









I found this little credit card sized gem of a 10A circuit breaker that w will install o. The negative side just short of the XT60 plugs so I have easy access to it.

I think this will be clean elegant, safe and efficient.
