Re: (ET) Auxiliary Charging Kit

It sounds like you have the "extension cable" from 8 different kits. Someone took all the alligator clips for some other purpose. See http://myelec-traks.com/GEH-3289.pdf
I have come across a similar imbalance and assumed the above scenario, but odd this was a "common" occurrence? Although makes sense in a way that if the dealer had no need for the kit, the plain alligator jumpers would be the easiest to repurpose elsewhere in the shop, even with gasoline engines, leaving all those funny twist lock things in the box.

Here is an interesting issue for the Elec Trak experts in the crowd:  When I first 
got into Elec Traks I got a package deal which included multiple tractors, some 
attachments and a small trove of parts and accessories from a local New Idea dealer 
that had stopped handling electric garden machines years before.  Lately I have been 
going through what I have left attempting to catalog, clean and store these items.  
What I thought was the auxiliary charging kit #243A4817G1 appears to be something 
entirely different.  I have not one but eight of the "jumper" cables.  
These are about six feet long 14-2 Coroprene with a twist lock on one end and large 
alligator insulating boots on the other.  Each one has a red and a black boot but 
none of them have any alligator clips, just a fork terminal.  I have none of the 
short battery interconnecting cables either.  I can't imagine why a dealer would 
have that many jumpers and no interconnecting cables unless they used them for 
something else. It is doubtful that anyone else has run into this scenario but I 
thought it curious to say the least.  Does anyone know what number of alligator clip 
is used on these cables?  I suspect that I have enough spare material that I can 
make up my own interconnecting cables if I find the correct clips. Also if anyone 
has a need for the jumpers it appears that I have way more than I need so let me 
know.
