Re: Which are the best battery terminals to use?

Whatcha using them for, just to upgrade terminals or wanting extra battery direct cables (e.g. amplifier power)?

Just standard terminals. Solid Copper I'm guessing? With dielectric grease?

Can buy $1.50 battery post shims if the connections are loose. If corroded..clean with a pocket knife and/or brass brush and apply vaseline to post and terminals.

Re: Which are the best battery terminals to use?

He's talking about a wire brush with bristles made of brass, not the shims. The shims would be copper
