i have a standard pump with plugs into a 12v cig lighter. Would it be possible to take the plug off and replace it with two crocadile clips, so that i can attact it to the battery.

Sure, thats what i did as it makes it more versatile. If you find the cig lighter plug has a fuse built into it, it would be wise to add an inline fuse in the +'ve wire when you fit the crocodile clips.

so i'd want a pair of these? https://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ITAG=POP&ModuleNo=1059&doy=1m4#popular

Also which wire would i connect positive/negative to? As you have one wire that attaches to the two metail prongs and one which attaches to the metal bit at the end of the plug.

When you split the plug open, the +'ve wire is the one that is fused.

Its also the one in the centre of the ciggy plug as not all are fused.
