Westy Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The battery on the black car has decided it's had enough and has given up the ghost! Whilst reading the definitive battery thread I got to thinking about how ugly they are and how bad the terminals look when showing off the bay. I started looking to see what options there were and came across these on eBay.com My question is...will these fit or is there a difference in US terminal size like there is to Jap!? Any other options!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Interested in the reply to this too, I'm going to be swapping my jspec tiny battery for a bigger one with normal/larger terminals soon partly because its coming into winter and partly because I'm putting my sub and amps back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) They look nice, cant really help on the fitment though, SAE is the most common terminal connection used, and as you say Japan use the smaller version (JIS) which is less common, worth posting a question to the seller to ask if they are SAE or JIS!

Mad Hatter Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 if you are using a UK battery then logically you can pop to Halfords and buy UK terminals. I use a larger positive audio block that takes 3 or 4 cables out the back and i've had no issues. The only thing I must say I don't like about it is that it uses an Allen key style screw to tighten up and not a decent nut and bolt. If you are using non-standard intercooler pipes it can be a pain to get on and off usually needing you to take the intake pipe off the top end to get a decent driver in there. This is very much like the one I use, I suggest you consider looking at the second one. http://www.autotoys.com/pics/thumbs/t_SPT53102.jpg These come with different coloured covers depending on where you buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Hatter Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This may be of interest ... someone has tried out a few to rate the good the bad and the bloody awful http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/member-reviews-product-comparisons/57089-battery-terminals-best-versus-worst.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 There are stacks of options for battery terminals. I've had about 5 different sets in total. Currently have a chrome set installed..... http://www.mkivsuprastar.com/mkivsuprastar/Pics/Enginebay/7ddbe556f4d368b1b88e818ad13c98dc.jpg There were gold options that looked similar though if that's the colour you are after. I believe I got them from car audio security, or somewhere similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
