Replacement Battery Terminals? | The De Tomaso Forums

tsoloMember

I need to replace my battery terminals. I am considering using the type pictured below. Has anyone used these compression type terminals? Does anyone know what size would be needed for the positive cables to both fit into 1 terminal? And, the size of the negative cable?

I would solder ANY battery cable ends. A propane torch puts out enough heat & 50:50 solder is cheap & available at any generic parts store. Clamp-on ends or compression fittings will allow battery acids to creep up the strands inside the assembly, and in a few years you'll have starting problems.

Anyone know what sizes are required?

I found this chart on line. It came in pretty handy.
