Fail-Proof Cables Make Battery Jumping Safe
 ✖  |
If you've ever had a battery blow up, or ruined an electrical system because of an improper jump, you should know about Scat-Spark safety booster cables. The Scat Spark is designed to eliminate hydrogen gas explosions from sparks since it won't work unless the cables are hooked correctly and both batteries are fully operational.
The key to the Scat-Spark is a solid state control box with electronic readouts that permits current flow only when a correct hookup has been made. If one or both readouts fail to light, something is wrong and current won't flow until it's corrected.
According to the manufacturer, Dick Dameron, of DFH, Inc., the set won't work unless the inoperative battery has at least 1/10V, either. If the battery is broken internally, the Scat-Spark will detect it and shut down the system. If a clamp is knocked off or removed, the Scat-Spark automatically shuts down the system to prevent sparking and damage to all electrical components and accessories including alternators, regulators, radios and planter or combine monitors.
Scat Spark works with any 12 or 24V system. A farm-size model (S4DOI) with 15 ft. cables sells for $89.95. It features 500 amp. rated cables and parrot clamps for solid connections, even on side-mounted terminals.
For more information, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, DFH Inc., P.O. Box 1563, Rogers, Ark. 72756 (ph 501 636-1853).
Also on the market with "mistake-proof" battery cables is Results, Inc., of Lugoff, S.C.
You can never hook up the "Safety Connection" wrong because, no matter how you hook them up, a control box at the middle of the cables switches the current so the polarity is correct. All four cable clamps, in fact, are black.
"Battery blow-ups are more common than people think. Our cables make jump-starting safe and easy," says Joe Connel of Results, Inc. The company sells their neoprene-covered 12-ft. cables, made with heavy no. 6 welding cable, for $49.95. A second set of cables, which has a green and a red light telling you when you've got the cables hooked up right or wrong and prevents current from passing through until they're hooked up right, sells for $29.95 in a 10-ft. length.
