Default Power Supply Hookup ?

What im wanting to find out is....
What is the accessory called that connects to a power supply that lets you
connect more than one pair of clamps at one time ? (like 2 chargers)

Banana jacks?

The jacks go on the power supply. See figure 17.

Click this link and be sure to zoom in to see it bigger.

Hey Joe
No, this is an add on accessory that plugs into the power supply.
It has a banana jack to plug into the power supply, then a cord to a
pos. & neg. pole that you then clip your charger to.

Check out West Mountain Radio, powerworx , reddee2 or the integy power strips. These may be for you.

This is similar to what im looking for,
not the power supply just the wire lead & housing where you connect to.

Smiff,
I can't see the device well enough to understand how it works.
My suggestion is to get rid of the clips and go to some type of plug.
I use Anderson Power Poles and Dean's are popular.
You can then run the wires from several ends to the PS
and just plug into them when you need to.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck,

I know what you want, but I cant find a pic of one anywhere. its just has a live bar and a ground that you clamp to.

OK heres what Ive come up with.
This is an abandon micro-t charger Ive converted to a power supply adapter.
It worked fine so far but One question.....
are the battery holder springs ok to hold the clamp bars ? or do I need
to solder the clamp bars to the wireing inside the box ?

Those spring contacts might be good up to around 2 amps . Any more than that and you'd want to use the wires.

Thanks guver, I was afraid they would light up like a wall heater element
if I went too high amps.
Ill go ahead and hard wire it in.
