you could just use a regular, common crimp tool if you'd rather to put some 
on a cable, the one meant for it is nice but if you don't want to spend that 
kind of money, a common crimp tool will work almost as well. You could 
solder them on too if you prefer. I'm guessing that's what those are, but 
it's more than likely they are Anderson power poles. If I wasn't going away 
soon for a couple weeks, I'd make up a short cord for you with a few inches 
of wire on it so you wouldn't have to make one up yourself but everyone's 
busy around here getting ready to leave so mailing it would be tough. I get 
Anderson power poles in extremely large quantities on ebay, for once more of 
something than I'll use for a long time. The only other thing I found in a 
large enough quantity to even make me wonder why, was the F connectors when 
I was running cable TV line not long ago. I got I think 100 of the 
compression F connectors, I should make jumpers with some of them and extra 
wire and sell them. I'd make money that way.
