Projecta BC300R 300A Battery Clamp, Red

Quick answer

The Projecta BC300R is the 300A Battery Clamp, Red. A red 300A battery clamp with heavy duty brass plated steel jaws and shunt.

It suits lighter jump leads and charger leads.

Red is for the positive lead.

The black version is the BC300B; for bigger jobs see the 1000A BC1000R.

A tug test after crimping tells you straight away if the joint is sound. Use red and black heat shrink to mark polarity at each end. Keep lugs in a sealed tub so they stay bright until used. Strip only enough insulation for the barrel, so no bare copper shows past the joint. Match the lug to both the cable and the stud; a loose fit on either costs voltage. Engine bay heat and vibration are hard on connections, so check them at each service. Wear eye protection around batteries, as the acid and gases are hazardous. Disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect it last whenever you work near the battery. If you are unsure about any of it, an auto electrician can fit and test the setup for you.
