Well I thought of a couple of other configurations.

1. Powerpole to banana plugs.

2. I stole the top from an old 9 Volt battery, soldered a couple of wires 
to the back of it, and added some hot glue to be sure they stayed 
there.  With a powerpole connector on the other end it hooks up real nice 
to my K1 and a set of AA NiMH batteries in one of those little battery holders.

3. I have also found that I can stick three 18 gauge wires into the 30 amp 
connectors.  So I've done that and put 15 amp powerpoles on the other end 
of each set of wires.  Now I have a three way splitter.  It serves much the 
same purpose as Ron's spider but is much more compact.
