Battery cable ends
Where can I find some battery cable ends that will work on my cables. The wire is good but 2 of the ends have about had it. One positive and one neg. may change them all. What about a military type where you solder a terminal on the cable and attach.

I got some bolt on ends at NAPA. They were designed to hold the main cable plus 2 other smaller wires on side attachment. I did not do the Pos on drivers side battery due to the large and number of wires involved. This was a few years ago and no problems.

Used a set of "military style" battery cable ends that are bolt on. I bought lugs for the cables where I cut the busted up factory ends off. Crimped on the new lugs and bolted on the new ends. does a very neat job. I cannot for the life of me remember the place I ordered them. I think it was a fellow on ebay. got all four ends for under $50.00 if memory serves.
I will see if I can get a pic for you.
Do a search on here for a thread on them.

Lead free and cheap. Have to buy 3 of each though as a minimum.

I have some cables made of 2/O welding cable and the copper ends.. they are over 25 yrs old and still work fine!

Check out there installation video as well, they have solder slugs that have just the right amount of solder for each set up and an adhesive heat shrink tubing for battery cables..

I tried soldering before - I wouldnt recommend it.
You actually get a lower resistance connection from crimping plus its much more vibration resistant than the solder.
