Battery Terminals

The power distribution system in your vehicle is like a chain, a chain that is only as strong as its weakest link. Accordingly, your battery terminals have an important job to do, and can be a major problem if they aren’t in suitably good condition. Whether it be a loose connection caused by fatigue or poor conductivity resulting from the formation of excessive corrosion, battery terminals can be a key failure point in any power distribution system. Therefore it is vital to ensure your battery terminals are up to the task of distributing power form your battery to your car’s electrical system, and making sure it remains that way with period inspection and replacement when required.

    Reliable Car Battery Terminals

    Our range of car battery terminals includes a variety of options to suit different vehicles and battery types. From standard terminals to heavy-duty options, we have everything you need to replace your old or damaged terminals.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Battery terminals come in many forms and are made of a variety of materials. The type of battery terminal you need depends primarily on how many connections you require and the gauge of cable used. Materials used for battery terminals includes lead, zinc and brass. Each metal has it’s unique strengths and weaknesses.

    Zinc - Zinc is safer to handle and exhibits slower oxidisation and corrosion than lead, and provides substantially superior conductivity to brass. It also and is arguably better for the environment, as it need not be kept out of landfill for environmental reasons.

    Lead - The lead antimony used in battery terminals is designed to have the tensile strength required to securely fasten to the battery stud while retaining enough malleability to ensure a low resistance connection between the terminal and battery post.

    Brass - Brass is an excellent compromise between zinc and lead. Offering substantially better conductivity than lead, on par with zinc and at a similar price. It is also harder wearing than both lead and zinc, so generally lasts longer before deformation or damage necessitates replacement.

    Gold-plating – Gold is sometimes electroplated onto brass terminals, supposedly for its increased conductivity. However, the thickness of the electroplated layer is so thin the supposed improvement in terms of conductivity is often overstated. Therefore, the primary benefits for gold-plated battery terminals are a reduction in the formation of corrosion and oxidisation, which can help to promote better conductivity over time.

    Most of our battery terminals are the brass type, however we do carry a selection of zinc and lead alternatives in various applicable forms for you to choose from.

    We offer battery terminals with captive cable connections, clamp type cable connections and screw-down cable connections for use with eyelets. There are those with wing nuts for easy use without the need for tools, as well as terminals with the facility for multiple separate connections for cables sized from 8 to 2 gauge. No matter whether you are looking for a battery terminal to suit your caravan, wakeboarding boat or regular passenger vehicle or something else entirely, chances are you’ll find what you are looking for by perusing our extensive range of battery terminals from all the major providers including Battery Link, Jaylec, Projecta and Tridon.

    Clamp type cable connections are generally an excellent choice for general purposes, as the clamping action ensures maximum surface contact between the terminal and cable while also providing a strong mechanical connection that is unlikely to work itself loose over time. If you have multiple cables requiring connection at the battery post then a captive type terminal may suit your purposes better. Screw-down type battery terminals are great if you might need to remove and re-attach connections at some point in the future, whether for maintenance or modification. Screw-down terminals do however require eyelets to be fitted to the cables.
