Battery terminals

[skippy]

Where can you buy quality Heavy duty battery terminals? My 2008 megacab has been giving me charging issues for quite some time the cables and terminals are 10 years old now so I'm looking to replace them. Any ideas on where to source the terminals?

Last couple big DC wiring jobbers I did I used delcity.net for parts. I was happy with the quality of their products.

I get the brass ones with the wing nuts that all the parts places carry. They are usually in the marine section. I have them on everything i own. They never corrode and the wing nuts make it a breeze to add anything. Like dis>> https://www.amazon.com/UTSAUTO-Thic...207&sr=8-10&keywords=marine+battery+terminals

Military Spec Battery Terminals are a good replacement. They are not too pricey also.

Land Cruiser guys seem to like the military spec terminals as well--I've planned to use them next time I need to replace one.

No specific brand, but something along these lines: https://www.amazon.com/Audew-Milita...92&sr=8-18&keywords=military+battery+terminal

I am liking these, that way I can solder every connection, I hate the cheap parts store ones where you just tighten down the bolts with a stripped back cable

I have run that style terminal for several years now and they really are awesome - very tidy and easily modified/expanded. I really like that you can disconnect the cables without taking the terminal off of the battery. Also, like you said, there are no stripped, exposed cables to corrode.

You can solder if you choose, but I much prefer crimped and heat shrink-sealed connections. Both are proven methods, and both are better than set-screws.

Unless you know the difference between a good one and these, these are junk. The mil-spec ones from Amazon are excellent for the money.

A properly crimped connection is stronger than a soldered one, because the soldered ones will crack under vibration in a lot of situations where the crimped ones will flex. I deal with a lot of Mil-spec electrical connections. Tim

I really like these with some welding cable, easy to solder, I found some big heat shrink to go with them.
