Typically, this is the connection to the battery… at the battery.

What are the benefits of battery terminals?
They are the primary connection to power in the vehicle, vehicles don’t work without them.
spacer
Can battery terminals get wet?
In the material efficient stamped battery terminal (SBT) we are reducing the amount of material we use to manufacture the part. Because of this manufacturing change the terminal is formed in a different fashion which increases the retention performance at the battery post. ME stamped battery terminal (SBT) is material efficient while offering improved performance.

What battery terminals are the best?
Yes. Water and other vehicle fluids. Eaton’s parts are tested to USCar standards/fluids.
spacer
Why battery terminals corrode?
Because of chemicals and environmental conditions. Power at the connection also accelerates corrosion, this is why the starter and alternator eyelets are capped.
spacer
Why battery terminals get hot?
Heat is a result of resistance in the connection. Improper connection, bad crimp, damaged wire, etc. will lead to heating. To validate terminals, we measure this resistance in the connection.
spacer
What are the sizes of battery terminals?
SAE, DIN, IEC, JIS = post sizes. The battery terminal is developed or selected based on wiring orientation, auxiliary connection requirements and the associated wire sizes
spacer
Can battery terminals be replaced?
Yes, they can, but when a part is crimped or welded to a wire the individual eyelet cannot be replace. However, on a battery, sometimes the Stamped Battery Terminal (SBT) does not have a grip, only auxiliary connection points. In these cases, the SBT can be changed out without having to replace or splice the harness wiring.
