Connecting a heated jacket power lead.

[Toddy]

Is there any reason it's not a good idea to use the jump start terminal for the positive end of the lead?
Will save taking the battery out.

It has a threaded connection for exactly this purpose. You can also use the heated gear lead to connect a battery charger or tyre pump if you get a suitable adapter to join the leads.

Good, thanks, it's a pain taking the battery out when you have ten thumbs.

That's exactly how my heated jacket and auxiliary wire for my compressor etc are wired up

Goes without saying, fuse advisable...

I use the positive post for 3 feeds on my bike (all fused separately) my Hex ezecan, Bike cam and the SAE flying lead for my optimate, heated vest and Airman mini compressor. Used this configuration on 4 BMWs so far without any issues and as you say far easier than taking the battery out. It's worth putting a bit of copper grease etc on the 2 rubber O rings the cover loctes into too to help prevent them becoming displaced when you refit the cover.
