My battery did not come with hardware for the terminals. Will standard battery terminals fit these? I want to connect with 3/8 inch ring terminals with solar system.. Should I put a bolt through the horizontal hole??

Yes - you can use a bolt/washer-battery terminal/ring terminal-washer/nut assembly to connect your wires to the battery. Spray with a corrosion resistant spray before assembling and after if the battery assembly will be exposed to moisture or moist outdoor conditions. Good Luck!

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.

The wire is the same size as the BatteryTender as it has a quick connect system. The rings will not fit on a regular 12volt battery terminal but on my Mustang they fit on the nuts that hold the positive & negetive cables on the battery.

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.

yes I got this battery and it had the wrong size terminals also, so I was able to FILE them smaller so they would fit

No, the terminals are too large. This is intended for smaller batteries like motorcycles, sno blowers, etc.

Unfortunately I too am not sure what you mean by terminals, but like Suzanne, battery fit my Verizon box as well.

They have a simple nut and bolt connection, so if you have a round 1/4" wire hookups, at the end of your wires, you will be good to go. It will look like a car battery cable only smaller.

MC4 connectors are used most often, they are weather tight, one each (male-female) from the panel . You will need to splice into or use a terminal adapter at the batteries. Make sure to use a blocking diode if you are thinking about connecting directly from the PV panel to the battery. Not needed if you have a modern charge controller. Good luck -Bill

As long as it will hold the battery firmly in place, you can use heavy wire. Add an extra wrap of wire for extra security if there's enough room. Make sure that the wire won't touch the terminals if the battery happens to move. Apply plenty of insulation, like electrical tape around each terminal and secure it with a zip-tie so it doesn't unravel.

Run the 2 leads to your battery terminal or to your fuse panel, battery is easier. I used Velcro to mount my lights, but you could use self tapping screws if you'd like if you need to extend the wires you'll need a set of wire strippers and some additional 24 ga stranded wire and butt connectors.

I don't think it matters as long as you find a conductive part of the frame. I used the battery terminal.

As long as the specs match what you need (battery size, voltage, amps per hour, etc.), there should be no problems; however, make certain that it has the correct type terminal connectors. When it comes to connectors, there are different types and sizes, so study them carefully.

No, these terminals are a little smaller than the Battery Tender and other standard connectors out there. I am going to try to spread the male part apart some to make it fight tighter because it is close. But read the manual on the Battery Tender - most are not capable of charging multiple batteries. I have one that is capable but it says only two batteries and they must be identical and in the same condition.

Barbara; You should be able to install yourself. Clip the red clip to the positive post on a battery and the black clip onthe negative post before plugging Battery Tender in. Hope this helps.

You cut off the two connectors already on the wire, and crimp ring terminals on the ends. Make sure the rings are big enough for the battery terminal you buy. Get a terminal for the battery that has a post and wing nut.

I don't know, All I know is that is the battery that was needed to replace the one that had died. I would think that it is the measurements of the case, not including the terminals, because the width and lenght are correct to the given dimensions, so I would guess that it is just the case without the terminals.
