12-Volt DC Battery Clips Vehicle Accessory Adapter  Cigarette Lighter Socket / Alligator Clip Adapter


Use this adapter any time you need to connect a 12 volt device to a car battery.


Cigarette Lighter to Alligator Clip AdapterPrice $9.95


Car Power DC AdapterUniversal DC Power Adapter and Converter

Use your adapter with any 12 volt power source (like car battery or solar panel) to covert and regulate output to the correct polarity and voltage.

If a device you want to power has a coaxial style input power connector, and can run on 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 , or 8 batteries, chances are that this adapter will allow you to power it in the car, boat, or even with solar power (with the correct size solar cell and your adapter). For portable applications, team this converter up with the 12 Volt DC Battery Clip-on Cigarette Lighter Socket Adapter shown on this page.

Universal DC Power Adapter and ConverterPrice $12.95

Battery shut off switchBattery Switch on battery

Battery Master Disconnect Cut Off Switch

Battery master disconnect kill switch for cars and trucks with top post batteries. This switch fits the negative post of all top post batteries. This extremely handy cutoff switch enables you to quickly and easily disconnect your automobile battery for safety, servicing, or storage. They are recommended by classic car insurance companies and required by many auto storage companies.

As shown in the photo, you simply install this battery isolator switch on the negative post of your top post battery, then attach your battery cable to the back of the switch and you are done! To engage power simply hand tighten the green knob and slightly loosen the green knob to disconnect all power. The green knob can also be completely removed to help discourage unauthorized use.

These high quality switches are made of zinc and brass.
These same switches often sell for $13.95 at specialty shops and are highly recommended for all classic and antique cars.

Two versions of our Horizantal generator bracketUniversal Horizontal Shaft Generator Bracket

Now two versions of our famous Universal Generator Bracket. You can now build your own AC / DC generator!

A unique bracket that mounts a GM alternator to a horizontal shaft gas motor.  The simple way to build your own generator!  Add a DC to AC power converter, and you have a super high output DC charging system, as well as an AC generator.

We have designed and manufactured a simple, one piece universal mounting bracket specifically for this task! This bracket bolts to the motor (using a universal bolt pattern), and allows the alternator to bolt directly to the bracket. The bracket also has an integral belt adjustment slot which allows the alternator position to be adjusted, which serves to tension the belt.

Two versions of our bracket are now available. The long one is the one we have been selling for years. The short version is a new one that is intended for applications when you want a more compact system, and have an engine with no obstructions on one side. Designed for the small footprint GM 10SI Alternator.
Larger alternators will not fit!

Q: How do you direct drive a generator head with an engine?

A: Direct drive shaft coupler assembly.

To connect the output shaft of a motor to a generator head input shaft (or anything else), a special shaft coupler is required. Basically, three pieces are needed.

Select a coupler half that is the correct size to fit the motor shaft (or driving shaft size), then select a coupler half that is the correct size for the generator head (or Driven shaft size). Then the two shaft couplers are joined using what is called a spider. Notice that the shaft couplers each have 3 fingers and the spider has 6 slots. The three fingers from the motor side fit into three of the spider slots, and the three fingers from the generator side coupler fit into the other three slots on the spider. This coupler assembly allows for several degrees of misalignment between the two shafts and protect the bearings from seeing side loads that would result from misalignment.

These couplers are available in a bunch of sizes. We stock several sizes, but have marked the ones that are needed for our products and projects:

1/2" Direct Drive CouplerPrice $17.25
5/8" Direct Drive CouplerPrice $17.25
3/4" Direct Drive Coupler (most 5 HP and smaller horizontal shaft motors). Price $18.25
7/8" Direct Drive Coupler (use with most vertical shaft motors).  Price $18.25
1" Direct Drive Coupler (use with 8 HP horizontal motors and others). Price $18.25
Special-threaded and counter bored for GM alternators. Custom made to direct drive GM alternators with gas engine  Price $32.50
Spider for all couplersPrice $6.85   ONE SPIDER REQUIRED FOR EACH PAIR OF DRIVE COUPLERS.
