I had the dealer replace the original battery terminals on my wife's 1998 truck and after seeing the crappy clamp on terminals installed, I knew there had to be a better way. None of the local parts houses stocked this type of terminal end so it's off to Amazon. There was just enough cable left from the dealers install to make these work with a much more professional look. To install, clean and twist the end of the cable tight, insert the cable ends through the nut, and screw into the terminal. If you have more than a simple one or two wire connection you will need something larger like the DB Link BTN1 DB Link BTN1 Negative Battery Terminal and DB Link BTP2 DB LINK BTP2 Positive Battery Terminal.
I ordered two of these. The first one broke as I tightened it up. Two of the tangs on the part that screws in broke off, and the screwed in part cocked relative to the axis of the main casting. I could feel the resistance drop like a stripped thread when this happened. The screwed in part was not fully seated yet. So I tried again with my second item, and the same thing happened. I was using the correct gauge wire (2 gauge) for these parts. Either the quality control or the design is lacking. They looked great online, but they are now in the garbage, and a different type of terminal end is on it's way to my house.
