Re: Stus-List Battery Posts

Hi Steve, If you can get no satisfaction. Then make your own adaptor... a copper link, similar to buss bar material, with two holes: 5/16 and 3/8. The common post adaptor gets bolted to the link at the 3/8" hole and the link gets bolted to the battery at the 5/16" hole. Detail devils:

Re: Stus-List Battery Posts

ABYC strictly prohibits solder as the sole means of connecting terminal to wire; you absolutely need to use a good mechanical connection. Solder stiffens the wire at the joint, making it susceptible to failure due to vibration; and a wire under load can heat to the point that the solder will

Re: Stus-List Battery Posts

My guess/assumption is that any battery cables on a boat that have the old style automotive lead clamps are old cables that may not even be proper marine tinned cables. Lots of wiring on old boats, including C, was not tinned wire and needs to be replaced, even if it hasn't failed... yet.

Re: Stus-List Battery Posts

NO type of adapter or work-around is any more secure, reliable, or ABYC compliant, than a wing nut on a threaded stud. A regular nut tightened by a wrench on a threaded stud is even better. Old school automotive type post and clamp connections have never been terribly reliable, either. I

Re: Stus-List Battery Posts

Steve — if you don’t have any luck with the post adapters, by far the best solution (even though it may be difficult) would be to have the correct ends on the battery cables. What size and length of cable are we talking about here for the positive and negative runs? I’d be happy to do the

Just so I'm clear, my battery terminals are the 1st type seen here on Trojan's spec sheet: http://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/datasheets/T105_Trojan_Data_Sheets.pdf My battery cables have the big clamp style connectors. This looks perfect but the seller doesn't ship to Canada:

Wing nuts are fine for a battery that is Uninstalled on a regular basis.  As in,  you take it home when you aren't in the boat.  But batteries that are permanently installed should have regular nuts that are torqued to the right specification. A proper maintenence schedule of the batteries

Hi All, I replaced my 2 x group 24 batteries with 2 trojan T-105 golf cart batteries. I didn't consider the posts when I purchased the batteries and now that they're on the boat I realize that the battery cables won't work with these batteries. I had made considerations about size, space, load
