Might be easier to use one with leads rather than contacts.

I had considered suggesting that approach, but after seeing the way people hack up wiring in the yards I was concerned about having him try to energize the entire vehicle's bus that way.
You can try that, but I would be observant when hooking up. If you see big sparks, or your cable starts getting warm, then be ready to disconnect it.
Some yards may not like it if they see you powering up the entire bus on the vehicle in their yard due to liability reasons. They remove the batteries for safety (and so they can make a few bucks on the batteries).
