SAE Battery Terminals

I don’t know who designed these things, but the manufacturer application in alot of vehicles I have owned over the years really sucks. Soft crimped-on lead connectors coupled with enhanced corrosion potential in certain environments simply doom them to premature failure.

I finally decided to repair/upgrade the Dodge’s terminals one last time after they failed me for at least the 4th time. Not difficult to wiggle the dang things for a start after they come loose, but it gets old after awhile. These are done with a piece of sheet copper formed to shape and soldered into the cables with fail-safe clamping pins.

Hardened top posts and brass clamps seal the deal.
