I am currently looking to replace my TT battery. We do about 80/20 camping with electrical hookup vs without. I am just going to look for a standard grp 24 or 27 flooded cell I think but this is still up in the air. After each trip I disconnect my battery and bring it home (can't store trailer at home, no electrical hookup where I do store it) and connect it to my battery tender. Now to my question .... since I connect and disconnect So often I am wondering if anyone has found or created a type of quick disconnect. I searched the forums and didn't find much nor did I find something to buy. Since I am buying a new battery anyway I thought it a good time to ask.

I feel a bit dense since i was only thinking of things that would attach directly to the battery terminal, and had not tried to look for things that I could put on the cable itself (or between chunks of cable). Now I have all sorts of options. Now one more quick question. I will need to buy a small amount of wire to hook to the battery terminals, what gauge would match the stock wiring. I am assuming most 30A TT are the same.

You could use an Anderson connector but I'm not sure why you take it off every time. If you just installed a disconnect switch to cut off the parasitic draws it would still be reasonable charged the next time you went out and you wouldn't have to go to the hassle of shuttling the battery around.

When I take my trailer to storage sometimes its a week before I go out, and sometimes its 6. So I always thought it would be much better for battery longevity to take it home and get it on the tender.
