Battery Coilovers

Post by -Nighthawk- »

Hey,
I got a new battery today however the connectors don't seem to fit on it. The battery was the one that was meant for the FTO according to the catalog. Is it normal for the connectors not to fit on a newer battery? And can these be easily replaced (re-wired)? cheers

Yeah Easy enough to do, Repco Supercheap or even Jaycar

they even sell the Gold plated terminals, Much better to op for ;) much better Current delivery and Charge rate will also be better :) so go nuts.

I use this for my Posotive

And just a normal Gold Plated Terminal for my Negative, i bought the LED display Just to be fancy connected to an Accesory terminal in the fuse box so it would turn off when the ignition was off ;)

Ahh yes battery terminals, that's the one.

Is it easy enough to re-wire yourself? Can't drive my car there as it has no battery :P also, would AutoBarn have these in stock?

Or take the battery back and change it for one with the matching terminals.
