Replacement Battery Cable Ends

[ItsAnAdventure]

Does anyone have a suggestion on good replacement cable ends? The battery connections on both of the Gen 1's are looking pretty shot.

TIA

I recomend the the brass terminals and then solder on a set of welding cable lugs to the ends of the cables so they stop breaking down for ever.

Oriley's should sell both.

I.e
Cable Lug


Terminal

These are the terminals I run on my car. They've worked well so far. The wires and terminal are tightened down with allen wrenches.

Positive and negative

Good replacement ends? I've never found any that I'm happy with. Most recently, I went to a lug on the end of the wire, and a terminal with a stud on it. I found some at wal-mart, but I think most auto parts stores sell them, and call them "Marine battery terminals".

I've had one of those brass ones crack in half.

I like this kind.

I dont care for that style do to the extra wiring i run for audio and so on but in the long run that style seams to hold up well.

What did you end up doing?

I just redid my positive and negative terminals and used marine battery terminals along with 2/0 compression lugs that I crimped on and covered with adhesive lined heat shrink...

With the adhesive heat shrink, the crimp connection is weatherproof and airtight. The cables will probably outlast the car now...HTH
