My battery connectors are sad. For everything I do to my car, the manual says "first remove the negative battery cable." After so much action, it's looking pretty beat up, and to make it fit tight, I usually beat it with some sort of tool.
My question: is there something better I can put on the end of my cable that can attach/detach from the battery easily, and repetitively? I figure it might lengthen the life of my cables, so they don't have to put up with abuse. |
Check stereo shops. Some of them have connectors that remail attached to the post, while the wire can be removed with a wing nut.

which part...the battery nipples ... or the terminals?

connectors, the stereo shops charge BIG BUCKS for that crap. Baldy- if your near the coast or lakes or some ****, go to a autoparts store that sells some boat ****, or go to a boating place, boats use those terminals with the wing nuts on them, and they wont rust or corrode as quickly. http://www.ba-electronics.com/ccbt1.jpg |
this does not clear the hood on a FC, at least it didnt clear my hood, so it went in my Jeep instead.

That's pretty cool. Could you just modify the knob a little to make it fit? I'm relocating the battery on the T2 anyway, so it wouldn't matter for me. Where did you purchase that from?

i bought it from my local autoparts store
summit sells them, the knob just turns the power off you dont actually disconnect the battery cable. Unless you break the knob off I cant see it being modified, it didnt clear by a long shot if I remember correctly. |
in that first pic you modify the battery cable and put a eye
on the end and put it on the wing nut end, bolt the other side up to the battery and leave that on at all times. |
I have a circuit breaker on mine now. Got it at the old car audio shop I worked at. Works great. The one I have is 150 amp breaker, I believe.
