The primary use I had for the powerpole connectors was to provide an elegant way to connect up my (portable) wind generator.

However, I can also use it to give me handy access to the aux battery for jump purposes. I've already made a cable for this purpose.

For self jumping purposes I intend to make use of that capability with the Surepower 1315 battery separator. I just need to add the switch for that.
