No thats the negative one.

The OP is asking for the positive one http://www.electricalcarservices.co...le-size-Ø16-to-35mm²ECS-ABT530/p-494-163-1030

The Postive terminal is Larger size. Have a look at the battery and you will notice the difference.

Plenty if you Google " battery terminal saddle double"

Did anyone else wince when they saw the metal strap holding the battery down appearing to be close to both batter terminals in the example picture? If it was on a boat, a knock down, or the clamp becoming lose and the battery moving for whatever reason could see some dramatic action!

I had no idea of that.

Thanks for the pointer. That's just what I couldn't find.

Or if you want to use crimped cable shoes for lower voltage drop, consider the battery connector "Sure Connect 4" on this site:

Too high. My battery terminals currently rub against the underside of the plywood lid. But very useful looking.

Not at all the other post will be on the opposite side.

6 volt battery then?

Even so the clamp bar looks like its in the middle.

I'd at least wrap it in several layers of insulation tape ...... not 100% but its what i have done with a similar battery clamp

Must admit Vic that I always use webbing straps and not any kind of metal.

Actually not, it's an Optima (I think), terminals are in line more or less central.

You beat me to it

I bought some stainless battery terminals in Halfords advertised with 4 outlets, altho it's 3 cables plus four or more ring terminals on top..

Using them on AB.

The potential problem with these multi connection battery terminals is that it is too easy to bypass any shunt you may have to measure current or battery capacity thus giving a false reading of what is happening to the state of the battery
