I’m surely not the only person here who’s “over” rubbish clips/clamps on battery chargers and other similarly connected devices. Always low quality plating over steel, always the steel breaks through and corrodes.
Are there any durable clamps to suit soldering/crimped termination, with insulated grips? Cast or stamped brass is probably ideal. |

I have a set of these for my charger which can be interchanged with other devices.

What are the actual clamps like? Have been contemplating going Anderson with eye terminals for the regularly charged cars, this might be a step in the same (compatible) direction.
I’m a bit suspect on the Amazon ones as they look like brass plated steel, not “copper”. |

I've always been fond of this style
https://www.repco.com.au/globes-batt...hoC3f4QAvD_BwE Or this style and fit your own connector to the charger https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/17217593...BoCQvkQAvD_BwE

Looks like its time for a trip to CoolDrive/ JAS/ Ashdowns/ AEA.
I found having accounts at all of the above if one didn't have something the next one would, saying that CoolDrive and AEA were probably the best for heavier hardware. Don't expect to find quality sparkies or trades quality at Repco/supacr** etc, they just either have never done it or just aren't in that market anymore. Terry |

Through internet search i have found, the NOCO GC017 Battery Clamp Connector is a popular choice for its sturdy construction and secure grip. It features durable alligator clamps with copper-plated jaws that provide excellent conductivity. The clamps are also equipped with built-in safeguards to prevent overcharging and reverse polarity.
