Title: Daft question
Post by: 8weekly on April 12, 2013, 07:17:00 pm
I have two wires to connect to a leisure battery. Can I buy clips to screw the wires into to clip to the battery points?

You most certainly can, they're called crocodile clips.  ;)

Sorry, thick. I just assumed that the wires would come with clips from Pure Freedom. Dead pleased with their pumpboard price. £199 inc VAT.

Ask for battery terminals. They make a better connection than croc clips...they tend to over heat.

Totally agree

They will only overheat if you are overloading the pump.
