That's an interesting idea.  My first thought is Anderson
Power Poles, which are modular connectors available in a
variety of styles from a few amps up to 700 amp rating.

Every one I've ever seen has been a relatively inexpensive,
relatively low-quality import.  You could always "roll your
own".  My recipe would include an Odyssey-brand battery (AGM
technology, excellent brand reputation), a set of jumper
cables of your own choosing, and a Deltran-brand battery
tender to keep it plugged-in and fully charged 24/7/365 when
you aren't using it.
