Unless it is about a foot square and standing on a very large scale workmate, looking at the wires I have to wonder if it is rated in oriental optimistic amps running in a liquid nitrogen bath.

Oh the DREADED chinese AMPS strike again...lets put it another way if you value your boat then you will throw these away in the bin and buy some new ones

That's any number of cells between 5 and 10, not 5 or 10.
The sarcasm and other derogatory comments are because the cable fitted to carry this huge current is actually only capable of conducting about 30A before it heats up and breaks down the insulation. Do you know what size copper cable is fitted to a domestic electrical 30A ring main? It's more than a touch thicker than 16AWG!
I wouldn't rely on one of these things for more than about 15A continuous - that's proper Western Amps, not the tiny version imported from ROC.
