    Default Battery terminal extenders

    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.

    Default 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

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

    Default Careful....

    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...

    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.
    https://www.tricledusa.com/automatic

    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.

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

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