adam1983 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Does anyone know where I can get both positive and negative battery terminal clamps from? Mine has the smaller jspec ones on which won't fit normal batteries. Went to Toyota who said they can only get positive connector but not negative. They said the negative side is only available with the engine loom which has been discontinued. Could I not just get two positives and crimp them onto the separate cables?

j_jza80 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I used one of these for the negative: https://taynabatteri.es/prod-images/300/tayna_caraccessories/quick-release-battery-terminal-clamps.jpg http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/bulbs-wiper-blades-batteries/car-battery-chargers/halfords-battery-terminals-quick-release Just cut the negative cable as close to the existing terminal as you can. There should be plenty of reach, but make sure before you cut anything! For the positive I used one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-12V-Car-Van-Boat-Battery-Terminal-Quick-Cut-off-Isolator-Kill-Switch-/351434939303?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item51d3279ba7 The positive cable is not as long, so basically I removed the plastic lining from the new quick release clamp pictured, inserted the L shaped part of the stock battery clamp, and secured them with a bolt. Looks neat, and the quick release on the neg. side is useful when doing any electrical jobs on the car, or even if its being parked up for a few weeks Edited June 25, 2015 by j_jza80 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I recently brought something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-24K-HEAVY-GOLD-PLATED-BATTERY-TERMINAL-CABLE-FOR-CAR-AUDIO-2-4-8-GAU-Z16-UK-/180786126606?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a17b15f0e The gold connectors are better.

They look a bit too OTT for my tastes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1983 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Post updated with links Thanks mate. Was in halfords today aswell but didn't see anything. Must have missed them so will have another look when I get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think I got the metal clamp from ebay, but the quick release one definitely came from Halfords. The York store is a flagship one though, so it carries a lot more stock than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1983 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah I went to the big one in Nottingham which has quite a big stock. Should have asked really. Oh well will go have a look again tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
