I'm building a 2,000 Amp Jump Pack to start military equipment. I'm using the "Super Beast" battery made with Headway LiFePO4 cells. This pack is capable of a huge discharge current, which means high CCA. Discharge Amps this high will blow most BMS's, so I'm using a small BMS to run a large contactor (Relay). This way, all the current flows through the contactor.

I'm going to be starting a military generator, model MEP-802A. This is a 5kW rated generator with a 2-cylinder diesel engine. 24V The generator has no batteries inside. The positive leads inside the generator are insulated to prevent shorting to the frame.
