Baldy

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?

You can milk anything that has nipples......

save your money and go to a autoparts store and get one of those

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.

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 **** 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?

Rob x-7

i bought it from my local autoparts store

summit sells them, the **** just turns the power off

you dont actually disconnect the battery cable.



Unless you break the **** off I cant see it being modified,

it didnt clear by a long shot if I remember correctly.

Rob x-7

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.
