If the battery has rectangular posts rather than round + & - terminals, will the curved clips on the motor wires get enough juice when clamped on?

As long as the actual connection to any 12 volt battery in any format is good and secure I don't think the motor will mind....it will get what it needs from your battery.

The battery terminals and clips do quite well. It had standard hex nuts, but we changed the nuts to wing nuts just for ease of use. We have a 14' jon boat and have had NO PROBLEMS with loss of power. It was a great purchase for us. Bear in mind, most of the area lakes that we go don't have strong current. Also, we typically are in "No Wake" areas when fishing.

Start by getting a battery tester ,put the battery under load to see what kind of power that your battery is producing otherwise change the wires to the motor as in take the round ones off and reconnect with rectangular clips

Sorry I don't have it anymore. Put the battery in a portable 12v car jumper and gave it to my son, he'd have to tear it apart to find out. I think they were just averaged sized terminals, around 1/4 of an inch wide if I remember.

I had no problem...try rearranging the battery and wire to get the best fit...

it is the curve in the jaw that allows you to clamp on to various types of battery posts, both side and top terminal

There are a couple methods that will work. The first is to attach battery clips to the panel cord, then when needed clip onto the battery. This is simple but you always need to make sure the polarity is correct and when not attached it would be good to not let the clips touch so the panel isn't shorted. Another method would be to purchase a mating set of 2 pin flat connectors. These are similar to the 4 pin connectors used to connect a trailer to a car. Connect one to the battery (best if the exposed pin is connected to minus). Connect the other to the panel (exposed pin connected to plus). Now you just have to mate the connector and there is no chance of a short. Regards

yes, i believe so. i pulled out my charger and a battery. when installed correctly (side) the battery will "clip in". it will fit in place and not come out easily. kinda weird :) . rod

Yes. I have two group 24 batteries and the wires sways remain on both positive/negative battery posts.. Makes it easy because when I'm done with a trip I just plug into 120v outlet.

Yes. When you assemble it, be sure to note that the bracket for the battery will be on the top right facing it.

It's the type of clamp on the end of the wires. Parrot Jaw is the most common. There are types that work better with side mounted battery post; though I've never had an issue with using Parrot Jaw clamps on any vehicle.

Yes, but you will need to get terminal connectors. I had the same problem. The terminals on the battery are too large but you just need terminal connectors to essentially covert them to a smaller size. The company was kind enough to provide them to me free of charge.

That could be 1/2 inch or 3/8th inch depending on your Battery where you connect them. I hope that is correct. Best thing is to buy a cable that has them on already I find it hard to crimp those wires they are so thick.

I have one on my trolling motor and my 40 hp Mercury Force and they keep my batteries up. No complaints here.

Yes. The contacts for both positive and negative protrude slightly to make solid contact no matter how the end of the battery is shaped.

This is too subjective a question to give a valuable answer. Remember the current this draws, will your battery sustain that for long periods? You could baffle the installation with sound deadening material at the bends.

No! These things need direct and secure connections to the battery. Hooked mine up with 3/8 inch copper weld cable 10' long and have never had any problem. Don't cheat on the connections or it will keep kicking out on you. Autozone carries dual battery terminals that work perfectly.

Three things to check: 1. Do you really want the negative terminal on the left side of the battery? That's where it is on this particular one. 2. Check the battery configuration on your vehicle. The battery needs a different hold-down than the normal rectangular one. 3. Do you want a "post-type" hookup rather than a "screw-in" mount? This one is a "post-type".

Silly to check but make sure the batteries are inserted properly (corosponding +,-) second the cathode and anode may not produce enough compression and may need to be bent towards center 1-2 mm.
