Battery clamps

Direct and hassle-free connection for your workspace

The battery clamps with reference GF-1012-004 are a basic yet essential workshop accessory for those who regularly work with power supplies in the slot and modelling fields. They ensure a firm and stable contact, preventing current loss that could affect the preparation or operation of the vehicles.

Function and use in the workshop

This type of clamp is used to quickly connect the power supply to the battery or working terminals without the need for soldering or permanent connections. They are particularly useful in test benches, where frequent changes between different motors, chassis, or electrical configurations occur. A good connection is the first step to obtaining reliable readings and behaviours during car setup.

Compatibility and applications

• Suitable for use with common DC power supplies in slot workshops.
• Also useful in static modelling tasks when working with tools or components that require external power.
• Compatible with standard terminals of conventional batteries.

Considerations

For optimal performance, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the jaws and cables, ensuring that they show no rust or deterioration at the contact points. A clean and firm connection directly affects the stability of the current and, therefore, the accuracy of any test or adjustment made on the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

What are these clamps used for exactly?

They are used to temporarily and securely connect a power supply to the terminals of a battery or a test circuit, without the need for fixed connections. They are common in slot and modelling workbenches.

Are they suitable for any slot power supply?

Generally yes, as long as the terminals of the power supply are compatible with the size of the clamp jaws. We recommend checking this before the first connection.

What maintenance do they require?

It is sufficient to keep the metal contact points clean, free from rust or dirt. A dry cloth or an electrical contact cleaner is enough to keep them in good condition.

Can they be used in static modelling or diorama tasks?

Yes, as long as the task involves the use of an external power supply with compatible terminals. They are versatile within the general modelling workshop environment.
