[Vwdiesel] Size matters. Europeans have larger cigars!

[Val Christian]

I'll go off topic...has anyone solved the high current power sharing
problem?

I have, lemme see, about 8 diesel engines, from Generator to Jetta.
When it gets cold, like really cold, it is always a wonder which one
is going to start first.  With a storm on its way, I figured I'd
start one of the generators last night.  It started!  The old
U-1 battery tucked inside the cabinet had enough ooomph to get
the genset going.

What I'd like is some kind of inexpensive 12V, 1200 amp plug/socket combo
with the option of using jumpercables, device to device, or
whatever, so that I can get everything running off of 
something else.

That's asking for more than a German Cigar, though...
