Found a good source for the heavy ring terminals I am using for my new battery
installation.
I found some good battery terminals on line.
Wire size 2/0, 3/8” stud, crimp type (I solder them on).
DelCity.net part number 907455 $3.42 each
They were half the cost of the only local source I could find – Grainger.
They are nicely made, heavy duty, and pre-tinned. First I slide some shrink
tube on the wire, then solder the terminals on with resin core electrical
solder and a propane torch (keep the direct flame away from the wire – it will
oxidize the copper). Then I slather the space between the terminal and the
plastic insulation with Copper Cote (like Never Seeze but copper based), then
shrink the tubing around the joint.
Del City also has other goodies I have purchased - toggle switches and rubber
boots for them.
