You could take a dead battery apart and use the connector block from that after insulating. Usually far stronger than the wire ended connectors. -- *Microsoft broke Volkswagen's record: They only made 21.4 million bugs.

You can buy such cords, but the cheapest/fastest solution is to take apart a dead battery and tape up the back side, with a bit of plastic behind to prevent rubbing through -- the battery may have this anyway. In my impoverished schooldays, no battery was ever thrown away without salvaging the connectors. Chris
