Need quick battery disconnect like NASCAR

[Tbonus]

I was watching the NASCAR race in California today. Jeff Gordon had a battery problem in his car. The crew waited for a yellow flag pit stop to swap batteries. It was connected with a quick release plug. Zip, zip and it was in and out. He didn't even lose a lap.<br /><br />I store my boat offsite on a trailer. I would love to be able to swap batteries that quickly. <br /><br />Is there anything like that available for the marine environment?

web page<br /><br />Don't know how reliable they may or may not be or whether Nascar uses anything like this ,but here's a link to one that is availabe.Remember though ,loose connections can be problematic in boat applications.

Thanks for the reply.<br /><br />The one they were using today was a plug connector. Two cables from the battery fed into one plug (female) and the two cables from the boat fed into the mate (male). I think my bilge pump has the same type of plug, just much lower gauge. What do you think?

If I understand you correctly the ones you speak of are sorta like welding lead connectors except they are double receptacle?If so,I would trust the clamp type to those on a boat.But then ,that's just my 2 cents as I have used neither.
