Ive got them and they are quite good but only for the lesure battery really

Not heavy duty enought for the starter

had them on my t25 pickup they kept loosening off then fell in bits after a bit of taking them on and off. i would go for good quality standard battery terminal personally

Fine on leisure batteries, thats what they are for, they are not butch enough for the normal car battery.

Also consider what you do with the positive once disconnected....this is still carrying current from your main battery via the split charge relay.
I believe an isolator switch on the positive side of the leisure battery would be a better option.

I use a pair of these on a roller starter for a motorcycle, the ones I use are rated at 800 amps. I use them because I take the battery off when carrying the starter and when storing it vertically. I also have them on the leisure battery of my caravan but that takes a lot less current. I haven't had any problems with either to date.

Thanks for the replies. I have got an isolator switch but thought these might be useful for a quick change of leisure batteries as I have a spare.
