Title: Battery connectors
Post by: Clear Vision on June 06, 2007, 06:27:10 pm
Where on earth can I get connectors like the ones pictured below?
I tried loads of my local shops but no joy.

The bottom pic shows my temporary fix. I wrapped the wire around the terminal :-[

Q. why have you clamped the wire on like that ??
if you undo the screws completely & turn the bottom plate over and screw it back together you will find its a better fit

I tried halfords tonight. They just have that big ugly brass type ones with bolts :(

They had croc clips but the were huge.

I'd have thought so, not as cheap as crocodile clips though at a pound a throw from my local  motor spares shop. I could'nt find them in my local halfords either but I'm sure theyre worth a tenner.

they deffo have them in my halfords, quick realese clamps, i picked up a set about 2 weeks ago for the campervan, but the Q to pay was massive so i put them down ( and got told off by my 4yr old about not putting them back where they should be )
