Where can I get a two prong slave plug for jump starting 24v military equipment?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Your jumper cables may be too small......I have a set made out of welding cable....will start anything from a VW bug to a D8 dozer if you are jumping from a hot set of batteries.Does anyone know why when I attach jumper cables to the batteries from another 24 battery set I get crap for starting amps but when I connect the same battery set directly to the + on the starter and - on the frame a dead truck will start right up? I checked to see if its a bad connection to the battery posts, but they were fine. The reason I'm asking here is because the slave cables ultimatly do the same thing - connect to the battery not directly to the starter. (My battery cables have also replaced with new)
What size cable did you use?Your jumper cables may be too small......I have a set made out of welding cable....will start anything from a VW bug to a D8 dozer if you are jumping from a hot set of batteries.
It's because your battery bank is so low that it inhibits the current flow from the donor batteries to the starter.Does anyone know why when I attach jumper cables to the batteries from another 24 battery set I get crap for starting amps but when I connect the same battery set directly to the + on the starter and - on the frame a dead truck will start right up?
Make sure that you are looking at a plug, not a receptacle. Two prong receptacles are very common and cheap as dirt.Wow, I didn't realize they were that hard to find. I was out at my local Army/Navy surplus store about a month ago and saw one of these sitting on a shelf. Two pron on one end, heavy duty looking battery clamps on the other. Dont' remember how much he wanted for them, but if I make it back out there any time soon and they are still there, I can let somebody know.
