Hotdog Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 I have been doing some searching around for the perfect battery terminals. Looking for something that will accept multiple 1/0 wire with lugs on them. What I came across was some military grade battery terminals. I dont care for the type of terminals that have a set screw in them just a fear of them coming loose. That is mainly why I like to solder wire to lugs. Link below to the Military grade battery terminals http://www.ebay.com/itm/Military-Battery-Terminals-Boots-Set-For-A-Heavy-Duty-Dual-Battery-Set-Up-/331326370313?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d24973209&vxp=mtr Now show what you have done on your battery terminals or the products that you use.

Hotdog Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Posted September 22, 2014 These look interesting also. http://www.ozautoelectrics.com/fused-battery-distribution-terminal.html That makes 12" from the battery a piece of cake.

RainStryke Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 I'm using two of these: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_72367_NVX-XBTPN04.html
audiofanaticz Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Id rather have a terminal block with set screws that has way more surface area around the SAE post than either of these that have some rather thin metal. Setscrews can loosen up, but thats called preventive maintenance and you should always give your setup a look over every few weeks. You can always use thread locker as well.

MrBigs63' Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 I put the ones like the first set you posted on my dads truck. I loved them, but about 3 lugs is really the max that I have been able to fit on them. They are cheap too. I get them from Tony at CE Auto Electric for $6 a pop. They are pretty thick too. They do have some meat to them.
Rich Schenk Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 If it was me I would go with first one that skater229 said On 3/28/2014 at 4:22 PM, KyLar96 said: Its all about the music anyway.....
