Battery lead terminals

Not really wanting to tout for business for anyone, but I had to bring these to your attention. I saw them being used on "Wheeler Dealers" on the Discovery Turbo channel and I thought they were pretty whizzo.

They look a great way to attach the leads. I wonder how they stand up to long term exposure to corrosive battery chemicals ?

I'd say that they'd be as good as any other. Just need to keep them washed. and greased.

A lot of terminals are with small bolts these days especially with motorcycle type batteries. You could use a slightly longer bolt with nut and use an extra wingnut. and remove a lead completely. I like the simplest solution if there's a choice. Peugeot 203's had a disconnecting terminal standard fitting. Leaving your plane powered up is risky. No work should be done around the engine with power on either. I got burned with a metal watchband fitting a battery to a Cessna in a confined space long ago Nev

I have a set of those I got for my 4wd up at the farm. I leave the battery disconnected until we get there...I havent fitted these ones I got from Ian yet but they look like they will do the job fine
