Large-Cell Batteries

Battery Terminal Adapters

Convert one battery terminal style to another.

Battery Terminal Fasteners

Replace battery terminal hardware.

Battery Terminal Clamps

Screw-On Multi-Wire-Size Battery Terminal Clamps

Connect these clamps to a wide range of wire sizes.

Battery Terminal Clamps

Connect these clamps to cable with a crimping tool or by soldering.

Solder-Loaded Battery Terminal Clamps

When heat is applied, the flux and solder mixture creates a metallic bond that is nearly twice as strong as crimping or compression connections.

Marine Battery Terminal Clamps

Made of lead, these clamps resist corrosion to stand up to marine environments. Use a lug to attach your cable to the stud.

Screw-On Battery Terminal Clamps

Insert your stripped cable into the compression nut and tighten; no crimping or heat is required.

Battery Terminal Lugs

Connect these lugs to cable with a crimping tool or by soldering.

Heavy Duty Battery Terminal Lugs

Thicker walls than standard battery terminal lugs make these more durable.

Extra-Grip Battery Terminal Lugs

Serrations on both sides lock these lugs in place.

Screw-On Battery Terminal Lugs

Insert your stripped cable into the compression nut and tighten; no crimping or heat is required.

Solder-Loaded Battery Terminal Lugs

When heat is applied, the flux and solder mixture creates a metallic bond that is nearly twice as strong as crimping or compression connections.
