Bettery Terminals

I replaced the old terminals with some heavy duty terminals.

Old Terminals:


New Heavy Duty Terminals:


Finished:


I placed the battery strap/handle in a way that would block the washers from bumping into the positive battery channel and creating an electrical arc. Even if the handle was to break from cold or unforeseen incident, the battery bracket is tight enough (and not dependant upon the battery strap/handle) that the washers would not touch the battery terminals.


I purchased this battery in 2003 as you see by the sticker from Kragen Auto Parts store. It is a 7yr battery and I still have the receipt.
