Battery terminal extenders

[Trbayth]

Has anyone added some sort of battery terminal extender to their battery to make it safer to add additional connections?

Right now I have the normal connection and a connection for charger pigtails. I'm planning to add an additional fusebox for accessories but don't want to have more wires on the stock terminals.

EXTENDERS

I swapped OEM battery bolts for slightly longer ones so I could add terminal rings ..... one of them a sub-fuse box so this where most of my new connections end up ......... Mike :thumbup:

:agree: It's just a matter of finding a bolt that is a little bit l o n g e r . :thumbup:

Careful....

:agree: but be careful they are not to long or they will bottom out and not make a snug fit. Fear not the nanny will let you know if this happens...:roflblack:

Hi Mike,

I'm about to do something similar. About how much longer did you go?

I believe that one of the best product that I have seen for this is from TricLed.

Go to their site and I click on products/Spyder RT, then scroll down a little and you will find the Fuze Block FZ-1. Make one connection and the rest of the work will be done for you.:yes:

Yup. Also considering http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Wiring_Kits/Fuseboxes/fuseboxes.html but I'm still on the battery connection step.

Sorry but I don't remember the stock size :banghead: ..... however looking at my ruler + 3/4mm is all you need .... you don't want to put to many terminals on the bolt ........ Mike :thumbup:

FUSE BLOCK

When you consider what a fuse block NEEDS to do ..... for $ 6-8 you can get one from Banggood.com ....works as designed ......I have one ... Mike :thumbup:
