Another connector Q

A shame none of the 5 pictures have a good large picture of the connector.

I know this is bad form, but maybe it's not a total hijack of the thread.

I've been thinking of standardising on Anderson connectors so that with one massive extension cable I could:

1. Charge either car in the rain from a charger in the garage
2. Power the 12v towbar mounted winch from the battery at the front of the car. I think it peaks at about 60amps.
3. Power a tyre pump at some distance from the car for trailer tyres etc. (I burnt my hand on the Aldi 4cigar lighter thing that I used as an extension lead for this)
4. Stop the family borrowing my chargers. I had a flat battery last week and all 3 chargers were lent out.
5. Possibly use any old drills that have dead 12volt batteries.

I don't know much about and have never used Anderson connectors. Is there a connection standard ie which side is always + ?. Is there anything better?

Why not use a standard extension lead and make short leads with the differe nt connectors on one end and a connection for you standard lead on the othe r.

We use this type of arrangement for water hoses for filling water tank on b oat. Every jetty or marina seems to have a different type of tap so we just have 600mm lengths of hose with the various tap connections on one end and a hozelock connector on the other
