We use the SB connectors on our police cruisers, they work really great. But BigEd also makes a great point with the jump packs, that way you can jump your truck / car if need be.

On my shop truck I hooked up the Anderson plugs and 2/0 welding cable with 45' leads for jumping the equipment, 6' leads for jumping myself and a booster pack just in case (12/24 volt).

Actually, thats false....for high vibration applications like this a crimp connection is better.

But I would also cover the connection with a good quality heat shrink.
