Battery cables

[u2slow]

Got tired of my gimped up battery terminals today. I was going to put new ends on the cables, but they were shot - brittle with corrosion and green dust.

I had a scrap of #4/0 welding cable, and some extra terminals... here's how it ended up (sorry for poor camera-phone quality).

EDIT: I like this forum since its not fully brand-specific. Going to make a habit of posting here more!

looks good.

I have always used that spray on battery terminal protector as it seems to work but makes a mess because every time I even look at the battery I end up with some of it on me somewhere but it does keep the corrosion down.

I use Burndy copper penetrox, or Grote dielectric compound on all my connections
