Sky Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 I'm looking for a cheaper but good still quality battery terminal like this. I need 2 1/0 ga and 1 4-8 ga inputs on it for positive post. And one with just a 1/0 for neg. http://www.vminnovations.com/Product_45926/Rockford-Fosgate-RFDB1-0-1-4-8-Gauge-Positive-Negative-Battery-Terminal.html?rd=gpf_45926&adtype=pla&gclid=CMathoKWz7oCFeuDQgodsGgAHw 99 F-150 Build Log
JeepAndBassXJ Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 I have tried a lot of different terminals and found that the kind of terminals that use set screws really are not that good. The conductivity is not the best and you become limited on how many wires you can put into the terminals. I decided to use "Military Battery Terminals" and they are really great! You can get a pair on eBay for around $12, the only downside is you will need to put ring terminals on the ends of your wires, but that is kinda what you would have to do with stock terminals anyways.

Sky Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks man I've been looking for the name of those terminals. You think autozone would have something basic as that? 99 F-150 Build Log
JeepAndBassXJ Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 I didn't find those at my store, they had a set of terminals that you use to replace your stock terminals but they don't have as much space to put ring terminals on. The only way to make those work would be to get a longer bolt for them, one side is like a crimp and that only holds maybe 2 wires at best. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Lynx-Epoxy-top-post-battery-terminal/_/N-25hn?itemIdentifier=95964_0_0_ I also would look at marine battery terminals but again you are limited to how many wires you can put on it, the military terminals are the only way to go in my opinion.

Sky Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Posted November 6, 2013 So one of these would do me? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001QRTZR0?pc_redir=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005260K2A http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DNU3MIG Or better yet from a local store http://m.oreillyauto.com/mt/www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/NOC0/TZ620/N0365.oap?ck=Search_N0365_NOC_-1_3174&mc=NOC&mn=The+Noco+Company&pt=N0365&ppt=C0005 99 F-150 Build Log
Skullz Posted November 6, 2013 Report Posted November 6, 2013 I use these and they are very durable and can hold quite a few connections of 1/0 on each one. I will not use anything less than the military style terminal ever again. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001QRTZR0/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2C_ST1_3p_dp_1 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
Sky Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Posted November 7, 2013 I figure you can change the size of bolt out and put a longer one in there if you need more room for wires. Am I right? 99 F-150 Build Log
