I doubt you'll be drawing 200 amps for very long, right? A minute or
two? You should be fine with something like a powerpole connector. There
are no light-weight easily-attached connectors that are rated for 200
amps. Electric vehicles routinely use Anderson connectors rated for a
few hundred amps, at very high peak currents.
