Finally got around to building my jumper cables. Went with the quick disconnect adapters. 6awg wire for adapter. Jumper cables might actually be 8awg. Not much to this really.

Before I had designed my PDU to have jump posts in the engine bay, but it was brought to my attention, with my remote mount battery, and a fusible link or circuit breaker protecting the long line, jumping the car may blow that fuse/breaker.

Well even if that wouldn't have been an issue, I still would have an extra large gauge wire feeding those posts from battery, something I didn't want. Plus this is easier anyway IMO.
