Military Spec Battery Terminal Top Post Kit

These are excellent top post battery terminals. I've bought two of these kits and both have been high quality. They work great for wiring a winch or other aftermarket electrical accessories that need to connect directly to the battery because you can place large ring terminals on either side of the through bolt, allowing more space to add wires. The use of ring terminals for the individual wires also allows you to easily disconnect the battery without removing the lead terminals themselves. This will help make the lead terminals last longer, as repeatedly removing them from the battery posts deforms the lead and eventually reduces the capability of the terminals to clamp the posts. This kit includes everything you need to wire in the new terminals, including four crimp on ring terminals for your battery cables, heat shrink for the ring terminals, bolts to attach the lead terminals and battery cables, and nice rubber covers that are color coded. All of the hardware is high quality. The ring terminals are too big for normal crimps, so you will either need a set of battery cable crimps, or use vice grips like I did (not ideal but works, and you can cover the ugly crimp with the heat shrink...)

Was nervous looking for new contacts that would be of good quality and not be dependant on hex screws to hold down a connection like some other products available on Amazon. These are very good quality. Used them on my 2004 Acura TL. Fit great and they have great clamping force. Lots of room to add accesories, and you dont have to disconnect the main to access any accessory wire you may be adding or removing. Nice that they come in different sizes for + and - as that is a common complaint with other products that theyre the both size, not the case with these they are proper size. The rubber covers are awesome too ! Very satisfied and would recommend

The finished product looks great. It actually turned out well, I work on my cars but I never really get too deep in automotive electrical. I’ve swapped plenty of batteries but never had to replace the ends. The whole operation was smooth but I was able to utilize my Greenlee K05 crimpers, which are not an every man’s tool. There are similar style tools available for cheap here on Amazon so I’d look into those if you’re going to install this kit. I don’t recommend trying to hammer or squeeze the ends with anything else, crimpers are a specific tool for a reason. I’d fear using any other method will lead to having a bad connection - arcing - electrical fire - no more car. The rubber plastic finish covers didn’t work out though, the intent was nice but it just wasn’t meant to be.

This kit was more expensive than it would have been to replace the OEM parts, but it was well worth it. I purchased this to replace the terminals on a 2001 Tacoma with the 3.4 V6. The kit is complete, you'll just need to remove the old terminals and then 1/2" and 9/16" wrench to tighten things down, a crimper, and something to heat shrink the included wraps. The install was straight forward enough. I'm not sure if my terminals had been replaced before, so I had just enough wire to make the replacement. It would be nice if the kit came with a couple of smaller gauge crimp connections that will still bolt to the terminal, as I had to mock up a connection for the ground wire. All in all, between the crimp connections, the heat shrink and the heavy-duty rubber covers, this is sturdy, well-made hardware that seems like it'll last longer than my truck will

High quality terminals and everything you need except cable and a crimper. This is a good kit, but for this price the lugs should be tinned. Tinned lugs provide corrosion resistance and are readily available in any size needed. The mil spec terminals are excellent, beefy bodies and bolts, and they fit perfectly. The terminal boots are a little big but they work fine. The heat shrink is high quality and adhesive lined, perfect for this application. Overall this is a good kit and it's convenient to get everything together, but if I were to do it again I would purchase everything separately and get tinned lugs for about the same price or even less.
