Shoreline Marine Battery Marine Terminal Kit (Red/Black)

Shoreline Marine Battery Marine Terminal KitI purchased these and am very happy with them. I originally purchased them to be able to use an auto battery with an outdoor power equipment project where the cables to the battery just had ring terminals at the end. Just as would happen if this were a boat project, my options were:

1) Get new battery cables with regular battery terminals at the ends

2) Get a new marine battery with marine terminals

3) Get these adapters

Obviously, I chose option #3, which turned out to be an even better choice than I had expected. The adapters do exactly what you would expect adapt regular battery terminals to accept marine-style ring terminated cables. What I didn't expect was how easy it would be to use. Unlike many dedicated marine batteries, these come with great plastic-coated and color-coded wing nuts on the studs, which make them easy to use even when it's cold and wet outside. With regular marine batteries, they often have hex nuts on the studs requiring a wrench or socket to install and remove -with these adapters, the cables can be attached and removed bare-handed, no tools required.

Not only would I buy these again, I will probably use them with the starting battery in my next marine project as well because of the nice features mentioned above.

I have these terminals installed on a battery on RV which has a solar panel installed. I have had no problems with the battery going dead or not charging suffiencently due to a poor connection. The color coding is really a nice touch.

Stanley GBCPRO Golf Cart & Vehicle Battery Charger

Stanley GBCPRO Golf Cart & Vehicle Battery ChargerI have a Club Car golf cart and wanted a backup battery charger for it in case the original charger had any problems. The fact that the GBCPRO is advertised as being able to charge golf carts as well as other lower voltage applications including common 12v batteries, I ordered one.

The package arrived in good condition. I unpacked the GBCPRO and was immediately impressed with the different adapter plugs and leads that came with it. I read through the manual then decided to charge a deep cycle 12v marine battery I have. The battery charged fine in about 8 hours and the GBCPRO switched to maintenance mode as the manual stated. So far so good.

The problems started when I tried charging my 48v Club Car golf cart. I installed the three prong round adapter plug appropriate for the Club Car's charge receptacle, plugged in the power cord for the GBCPRO, then plugged the charge cord into the golf cart. The GBCPRO successfully detected the 48v battery system in the cart, I switched the charger to wet cell mode, then pressed the charge button. After about 20 seconds the GBCPRO indicated the golf cart had a full charge which I know it did not. I double-checked the golf cart's batteries with my Fluke digital multimeter and the batteries were only at 45v. I tried several more times with the same results. When I used the voltage button on the GBCPRO, it said my golf cart batteries were at 56.5v which they were not.

I then tried the ring terminal adapter cable to connect the GBCPRO directly to the golf cart batteries without using the round golf cart plug adapter. The GBCPRO did detetct the 48v battery system, charged for about 30 minutes, then indicated a full charge. However the cart's batteries were still only at 45v.

I figured the GBCPRO wasn't going to help me with my golf cart but I was still satisfied as it did a fine job with the 12v deep cycle battery I had charged earlier. Unfortunately about two weeks later when I tried charging the same 12v deep cycle battery again, the GBCPRO made a loud pop sound after only about 30 seconds of charging and I could smell an electrical burning smell emitting from the GBCPRO.

The GBCPRO is back on its way to Amazon for a refund. Since purchasing it I've also read a few other's experiences with the GBCPRO on a golf cart message forum that were similar to mine. I guess that is the reason they seem to be priced for clearance. I tried calling the support number included in the manual several times but all I got was a message that they were closed for the holiday though there has been no common holiday for several weeks.

I had an industrial battery charger go bad on my boom lift. Every replacement I could find was at least $300 many were $400. Additionally, many of them were rated for a lower amperage. The Stanley charger does a great job charging my 4 6v deep cycles. It was about the same price as many other 12v chargers but with the flexibility to charge almost system. The only draw back to this charger is that I have to set the battery type and tell it to perform a fast charge every time I plug it in. This is only a drawback because I use it for work almost every day but I still think it is not worth four time the money just so that I wouldn't have to press the buttons every time.

If you need a charger for atvs, golf carts, cars or industrial equipment I would definitely recommend this one.

HQRP 20 Amp 12V / 24V Solar Charge Controller for Solar Energy and Lighting Control 300W with LED /

HQRP 20 Amp 12V / 24V Solar Charge Controller for Solar Energy and Lighting Control 300W with LED /LCD Display plus HQRP UV TesterI set up a basic solar system for my sailboat on a very limited budget using this charge controller. It is rated for up to 300 Watts of solar panels and I have two DMSolar 145 Watt panels that I also bought from Amazon, and 12 guage cables and parallel connectors from HQRP, the connectors now come free with the panels. For $47 I don't think you can find a better value in a charge controller. The controller is extremely easy to use and understand, and is doing a good job of keeping two 125 AH batteries charged up (usually by lunchtime despite drawing the battery bank down to 12.4 V during the night with usage.) My only complaints are about the panel input receptacles, yes it would be nice to use 10 gauge wire and the screws seem barely adequate but the next step up is to a $160 controller. If you have the money, you can buy a programmable WPM controller from Morningstar (the TS45) which allows you to set the charging voltage at a higher voltage (say 14.8) which does make a difference in the amount of energy stored in the battery and perhaps also in their lifespan. Summary: incredible value in a budget priced charge controller for someone with less than 300 watts of panels.

I purchased three Regulator two of then failed after 4 weeks - At this point , I would have to buy an alternative item to replace the two failed units

not happy with this product. i was unable to secure the #10 stranded wire into the slots. when i place them in and tightened the tiny little screw IT DID NOTHING. so the wires fell out. i wrote the supplier and they suggested i turn the unit upside down so the wires just lay in the unit and quote"I may be using too large of wire) unit is rated for #6 (that size would never go in) and the solar panels ask for #10. also it was said by the supplier that the unit was made to not hold wires securely. I think this is bogus. No suggestions were made as to return the item. SO FAR I HAVE NOT DONE THE UPSIDE DOWN THING. THIS IS IN AN RV AND I THINK THE ROAD BUMPS WOULD DISLODGE THEM AND THAT WOULD BE A CONSTANT IRRITANT.

Battery Tender 081-0069-6 Ring Terminal Harness with Black Fused 2-Pin Quick Disconnect Plug

Battery Tender 081-0069-6 Ring Terminal Harness with Black Fused 2-Pin Quick Disconnect PlugMakes charging your battery very easy with the quick disconnect. just connect it to your battery and it is there when you need to connect your

charger! the fused link is also a great idea in case of a miss connection

or a surge to the battery.

These are great units but if you are going to attach the quick disconnect to a modern automotive battery installed in an auto, think twice. Newer battery cables do NOT allow these rings to attach to the battery at the battery posts. You'll have to connect the 'Rings' to another positive and negative terminal location.

If using on an auto, a better option is the cigarette lighter/power plug unit. (...)

Quality of the unit is very good. 4 stars because they don't say, will not work on all battery's. Also, the rings are not large enough to accomodate an automotive battery cable post attachment. The holes must be enlarger unless you are attached to other than the atcual battery

10/2/2011 Update: Three years later and the unit has run 24/7 all that time and still going great. Change to 5 stars +

3/3/2013 Update: The unit has been running constantly for 4 years plus. Still working just fine.

I have ready some reviews from others about this not fitting on a battery for an automobile. So they were disappointed in this product. This is because it is made for a MOTORCYCLE BATTERY PEOPLE! It hooked up to the MOTORCYCLE battery like a glove. Works like a charm. Get this if you own a MOTORCYCLE not a car!

BlueAnt USEN-BAW-SENSE Bluetooth Handsfree Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - Black

BlueAnt USEN-BAW-SENSE Bluetooth Handsfree Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - BlackI have been selling wireless since 1996 and have used multiple headsets, hands free solutions, etc. This has the best voice quality of any in-car set up I have used. I was using a Jawbone, which I still have, and is excellent. I am just tired of having something hanging on my ear X hours a day. I am a gadget freak for sure but I am tired of the tool on my ear.

I made some calls at 80mph in my wife's minivan on the turnpike to friends to get their feedback before using it for business and they did no know I was on a speakerphone...that's good enough for me. The voicedialing, as with any voicedialing feature, sucks. They all suck. The voice answer did not work either say 'ok' to answer...yeah my kids were laughing at me saying 'ok' 6 times and then the call went to voicemail because it never answered. But I expected that...so just reach up and tap the answer button...no worries. My concern was voice quality, and it passed the test.

The auto phonebook transfer to a blackberry will not work from the device but will work if you do it from your BBerry's blutooth menu and push it to the device. It took about 10 minutes for my 1500+ contacts to transfer. I only did that so I could hear the name of the inbound caller, which is cool. The reality is we all have our phones right next to us when the call comes in and we can look at the phone's screen if need be.

01/09 UPDATE: I got a new car and well...I have to turn this off for business calls. It's just not good enough. What changed? Well, just my car. There is nothing worn with the device. So maybe the cars insulation is coming into play? I am driving a C6 Corvette and I am certain it is not as insulated as my previous car (Audi TT) or my wife's minivan. That being said, if your car is well insulated from road noise you should love this device. Cheers, Josh.

Being a fan of the supertooth 2, I got the supertooth 3 for the text to speech feature which is supposed to announce the caller's name based on your address book. Problem is that I could never get it to say the caller's name, instead it will only say the number. I'm using it with a blackberry 8830 and have also tried it with a Mot Krzr with the same results. Contacted the company over the phone who's support is great but they couldn't get it to say the caller's name either and suggested the I send it back. Not good for a new product.

I'm sending it back and we'll see what happens with the next one.

----------------------------------------------

Update 6-13-08:

We still can't get the ST3 to announce the callers name either. We are on our third one after returning two of them. In our company we have BB8830's and Pearls. Tried on both with no luck, only phone numbers are announced. Also tried on two Mot KRZR's also with no luck either. Called vendor three times now and they had me do the batt thing also. They finally said that our vendor may have had a "bad batch". This one is really hard to believe. I called our vendor who is not happy that this "may be the case". I'm now waiting for blueant to send me an envelope to send the unit back and to then send me one directly from the factory.

I'm not holding my breath on this. Guess it's like software... never by version 1.0 of anything. For a few weeks, there was nothing out there (internet search) that pointed to this problem but now it's everywhere.

Aside from that, the unit performs as good as the Supertooth Light verison.

------------------

7-3-08: Still haven't received the product return package from the manufacturer. We are still getting the Supertooth 3 device for clients though because the other "advertised" features do work and work well and so far is the most "hands free".

Buy BlueAnt USEN-BAW-SENSE Bluetooth Handsfree Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - Black Now

After much research here on Amazon, I decided to order the BlueAnt Supertooth3 to solve the dilemma of California's new cellphone law. I did not want any such product, but some of the available solutions are definitely less wanted than others. The Plantronics 510 Voyager would be good for a person who doesn't mind wearing gear and doesn't use sunglasses or other glasses, but I'm not a headset/earpiece kinda gal. The BlueAnt Light, with the protruding mic, sounded like a major irritation just because of the temperamental mic that would get stuck. For me, the lack of Caller ID made it unacceptable. I don't answer unnecessary calls while driving. The Jabra speakerphone does not come with a home charger. That is ridiculous, and I would never buy a product that required another purchase, when it should come with it in the first place. I saw so few reviews for the Supertooth3, which was disappointing, but decided to write one myself.

I received it yesterday. It took just under an hour to charge, and it comes with a home charger, car charger and two magnet clips. It wouldn't sync the phonebook from my LG8300, not even one at a time contacts. This means that Caller ID announces the incoming number, not the name, but that is okay with me. I had never used voice dial on my phone, but the Supertooth booklet instructed that one voice tag was necessary on the phone in order to use voice dial. So I made one voice dial call from my phone, and then tried it on the Supertooth. It worked fine. I can say, "Call Sonia Home", and it dials Sonia's home phone as opposed to her cellphone. In order to enable handsfree voice answer, one must depress the volume button until it gives the voice message that it has been done. Another reviewer of the BlueAnt Light said that the flashing blue light was driving her insane, but that light lets you know the device is working as it should. For some reason, it was not flashing right after I got it and not working, but I assume that is because I did not know how to use it.

The most annoying thing by far is in the way I have to use it, due to the fact that if I get out of my car and am within 30 feet, the BlueAnt will answer the call and I can't take it on my phone. I make many short trips and in and out of buildings at a short distance. So I have to turn off the Supertooth3 before I get out of the car, and turn it back on when I get back in. What I don't know is whether it is necessary to re-enable the voice answer by depressing the volume button every time I turn it on, but that is what I have been doing. I also wonder if these devices are made to withstand the extreme heat in the car in summer. I certainly hope so, because we have weeks at a time of 100+ degrees. I also hope it is made sturdily enough to handle being turned off and on frequently.

The voice quality of calls both ways is better than the Garmin Nuvi 360 by far. The magnets are strong. The clip was kind of hard to get on my thick visor, and I won't be able to use the business card slots on the back of the visor, but the device is small and it looks cute. It's easy to take it with you and reattach it. The battery life is said to be 800 hours if you never turn it off, and much more if you do. I will be turning it off every night.

I'd say this is the best product for this purpose, which for me is simply to comply with a law that I wish had not been passed. I find all devices to be a distraction, and a cellphone alone is less distraction than in combination with other things. Guess what? Californians can still text message while they drive! Doesn't that make you want to visit? ;)

Just as the first reviewer. I'm having the same problem with my supertooth 3. I have an Iphone and it will only announce the number not the name and Blueant requested I send it back. I will update this as soon as I recieve the new one. And yes customer service at Blueant is excellent......However, I do pay shipping back to them....that's not so good

AND NOW FOR THE UPDATE : 7/5/08 My third Blue Ant st3 is all that !.....this one works perfectly with my iphone , the first two worked fine but did not say the name of the caller.....the early models of st3 do not work with all phones.....it was software issue that has been resolved....the key here is if indeed your having problems....getting an st3 with a higher serial #....Blue Ant customer service is outstanding....Talk to Dave. he'll make it right. .... oh and i would now give this product AND OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE a five star rating !!!

Want BlueAnt USEN-BAW-SENSE Bluetooth Handsfree Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - Black Discount?

I really wanted to give this 5 stars but it just wasn't perfect. How about 4.5 stars. The product pretty much worked as advertised. Uploading the address book was a snap. In minutes I had the product up and running. Controls were easy to use and voice features appeared to work just fine. I spent some time using the product in a variety of conditions and everything appears to work perfectly. Incoming sound appeared to be very good and I had no trouble hearing callers even in somewhat noisy conditions. Callers reported to me that my voice sounded a bit hollow or had a slight echo but they had no trouble hearing me. Pairing and unpairing has worked perfectly so I have been very happy using this. It has been a much better solution to me then a earpiece. Unlike other users, I actually had more trouble with the number caller ID then the name caller ID. It called out the names perfectly but seemed to have occasional trouble completing saying the number. At times it would cut part of the number off. On to the pros and cons:

ProsEasy to set up and use. Generally does everything it advertises athough not quite perfectly. Good battery life and excellent sound caracteristics, easy pairing and unpairing make this a joy to use. The case is attractive and very functional with the magnetic clips that let you unhook the unit quickly. Voice controls work perfectly.

ConsInstruction set could be better. You have to sync the address book when you add a new contact. An automated sync would have been a very nice feature. Caller ID software need just a bit more work.

Overall a very nice package. I recommend this product.

Schumacher SE-4022 Manual Wheeled Battery Charger and Tester

Schumacher SE-4022 Manual Wheeled Battery Charger and TesterThis charger is a very nice charger. Prospective buyers should be aware (I was) that there is no automatic shut-off when battery is fully charged. There is a timer to regulate the length of charging time. I did not realize by the specs & write up that the "tester" was a simple volt meter. I already own 3 or 4 of those on different testers. Even though there is a convenience factor to the meter being mounted in the charger I would not have paid so much more for it had I realized a voltmeter was all that it is. Also I would have liked to see a sturdier set of wheels & tires that would make it roll better in gravel & dirt. I am certain that the high quality of this charger will give me many years of service. The 3 year manufacturers warranty is great. Shipping time was excellent.

Someone said the tester was just a voltmeter, so I got it because a voltmeter is adequate for a quick test at the car. But it is a voltmeter that only goes up to 12.7 volts!!!! And it has no numbers on it. Despite the fact the meter says "charging system" condition on it, it is only capable of measuring battery voltage. The meter is pegged in the green with 12.7 volts. (resting Voltage for a fully charged battery) Which means if you believed the word "good" on the "charging system" meter, you'd think the alternator was charging, but it may not be. It only tells you if the battery is charged or not (with the car off, and no surface charge on it). The manual explains that is it testing the battery, but it is not labeled well on the charger, and in the advertising.

Good, inexpensive manual charger, but VERY limited "tester".

I bought this charger after my hand held smart charger stopped working. I wanted a charger that had ample boost capability. I have used this charger a couple of times now and has worked flawlessly. I'm very pleased with its performance and very happy with the price. Please be aware that this is NOT a smart charger. I have owned several smart chargers (both high quality, $150 and low quality, $79)in the past and they have all either failed or were not accurate. This unit works very simple. Set the timer select the proper amperage and let it work. If you are unable to operate a manual charger I would recommend searching for good quality smart charger with very good reviews.

This is a great charger. I ordered it and received it three days later with standard shipping charges. Pretty impressive huh!!!

The only bad thing is the plastic, injection molded tires that come with the unit. They are hollow and pretty thin. I can't imagine they would last any length of time if it is moved around frequently. I did not even put them on the unit. I went to Home Depot and bought some hard rubber tires with metal wheels and had to buy some bushings as the axle on the unit is fairly small. It is now a great unit! Schumacher should just spend a little bit more for better tires and charge four or five dollars more.

Want Schumacher SE-4022 Manual Wheeled Battery Charger and Tester Discount?

Fast, free shipping and discounted price made for a great value purchase. Have used to charge dual batteries for diesel trucks. Works great! Did not start truck in start mode until 10 minutes of charge on completely dead batteries, but that may be normal for any charger in 200 amp start mode. Casing very thin, and wheels light duty, which is just fine unless you are in an abusive environment. The wheels work fine because the unit is not very heavy. I am very happy with this unit and would highly recommend it so long as you know how to calculate how long to charge your batteries (although the timer could have a larger time range for charging dual, parallel connected batteries). This is a manual charger that you can set the charge time for up to 2-1/2 hours at user selectable 40 or 2 amps. I don't trust my memory to leave it charge in continuous mode.

Usually it's better to buy accessories in a bundle, it's cheaper and sometimes it ships faster. This particular product was a practical purchase because I actually use each item when I travel.

The retractable USB Data Hotsynch charging cable is not an excellent quality. The cable gets stuck and does not retract well back into place. But it works for for what I need it for, which is hiding the long cable and it doesn't get tangled up with other cables.

The travel charger works well when I travel especially if I'm not carrying my laptop around. It lets me plug it when I'm at the airport, coffeshop or anywhere else with a power outlet.

The car charger I really don't need because I have a stereo that connects to my IPOD and charges my IPOD while it's playing.

Overall, its a good buy.

Now I can take the wall charger wherever I go. It also came with a car charger to boot. The player charges so much faster than by the computer so this was an added

PLUS for me! Thank You Amazon!

Black 8 In 1 FM Transmitter Car Kit with Remote and Car Adapter for ATT Apple...

Black 8 In 1 FM Transmitter Car Kit with Remote and Car Adapter for ATT Apple...
  • iPhone 3GS charger, FM transmitter and holder
  • FM transmitter - Car charger - Holder with adjustable clip - LED display for FM channels - Support full stereo music - 2D tuning technology
  • Additional 3.5mm stereo adapter to play other MP3 players
  • Remote control Support all FM channels
  • Power by car cigarette adapter

UPDATE Be aware that there are different models of these and Amazon lumps at least two of them together as item ASIN B002ECB0Q0. I bought another one from Bargaincell, it turned out to be extremely low quality, all cables broke at the connector molding within weeks. The first one I bought, from CrazyOnDigital is still working fine.

I bought this 8 in one FM transmitter car charger cradle for iPhone 3gs, Amazon item ASIN B002ECB0Q0.

The cradle holds the phone securely, the charger works fine, the FM transmitter works well, and the remote control works also. If the price wasn't so low, I may have given it fewer stars but this thing is a great value so I forgive its minor quirks. The cradle holds my phone in a good position in my '07 Civic, your vehicle may be different so consider your layout before ordering.

The cradle seems fairly robust, no phone slippage or cradle rotation in the lighter socket so far.

The FM transmitter can be set to any frequency on the dial. I've owned several transmitters and this one is the best. It works even on frequencies that have stations with weak signals on them, this is unusual for consumer FM transmitters. It may be that my unit is a particularly good one but hopefully all of these are good. The FM transmitter can be set to several preset stations and those can be selected with the remote control to avoid interference while traveling, this is a nice feature.

A downside to this unit with an iPhone is that it does not advertise it is shielded from GSM noise to the phone. When you plug it in, the phone says the device is not designed for iPhone and asks if you want airplane mode. If you leave the phone radio on, you will occasionally hear GSM interference on your radio speakers, not very loud though. To avoid that problem altogether, it also has an audio out 3.5mm port and comes with a six or eight inch cable to plug in to your car's aux port. This works fine if your car has one, no GSM noise at all.

Another downside is you have to point the remote at the top of the unit to get it to work, a small annoyance. It does not come with a manual. If you need one, pass this unit up.

For me, so far, so good I like this unit.

i brought this item twice already and both times it broke the same way the back piece that goes into the cigarette lighter broke in half was only good for a weak dont waste your money!

I can not say for sure that this item broke my iphone 3gs, but I plugged it in because of a low battery. I tried to pick it up to make a call at the end of my drive, the phone wouldn't turn on. Phone was under warranty, so no hard feelings. Throwing the charger away though.

Swiss+Tech BodyGard 5-in-1 Multi-Function Emergency Tool with Key Ring

Swiss+Tech BodyGard 5-in-1 Multi-Function Emergency Tool with Key RingWas in a very bad car accident on freeway in Feb 09. I had all front end damage and airbags went off the whole shabang. Very frightening. My car traveled across all lanes of the freeway and slammed into the brick wall on right shoulder. I was so shaken up but my adrenaline was pumping, smoke was everywhere in the car and I was afraid it was going to catch on fire, I tried to open my door but couldn't, I had been carrying the Swiss-tech BodyGard 5 in 1 on me for about a year. Sort of bulky on my set of car keys and I thought, when am I ever going to use this? I paid the $15 for it and at that moment when I reached for it (the keys were still in ignition)I was praying it would work. I pressed it up against the glass of the drivers side and POW the glass exploded and broke a gigantic hole. I cleared the rest away with my hand and climbed out the driver's window. I can attest to say that this product worked and I am so happy I had it on me and am happy to be alive.

This came as part of a set of multiple items from Swiss-Tech. I tested the glass breaker, multiple times from various locations, and it didn't so much as scratch the glass. The siren can be loud, but it's also very easily stifled in the manner you are holding it. Haven't tested the seatbelt cutter, but I'm guessing my knives are just as well suited. It's way to bulky to be on my key chain.

I just bought two of these one for myself and one for my wife. I have a friend who works in a junk yard and agreed to let me try them out, the first one I used shoved the rod through the plastic on the inside and the second popped out but did not have the power to break the glass. PLEASE do not count on this to save your life if you do buy one try it out several times before you trust it. The light would be handy though if you turned on the light it might help the rescue divers find your body!

Not very well made; probably will not be at hand should you ever need it, unless you carry it on your keychain; it's really too big & bulky to carry on your car's keychain.

I bought one, tried it out as best I could, and eventually just rejected it to my junk drawn.

It fell apart all the time. The blade wasn't sharp enough to cut a seat belt and the window breaker didn't break a thing. The alarm was barely loud. This eventall fell off my key chain due to it slides out.

Universal Top Post Battery Cable Terminal Red / Black

Universal Top Post Battery Cable Terminal Red / BlackOld were broke on the sides and they would not tighten up. Had these installed in less than ten minutes. Cheaper than any auto parts store around. I would highly recommend them.

My positive battery cable kept slipping off of the post and wreaked havoc on things.

I installed the postive terminal and no problems since.

I would give it a 5 star, but I was a little unhappy with the design of the bolts holding the clamp on. Basically you want your cable to be as securely fastened as possible, so I would like to tighten those down as much as possible, but the problem is that the bolts extend beyond the bottom of the terminal and prevent the terminal from laying flush if you tighten them too much.

I was able to get it on to my satisfaction, but I would have preferred a few more turns...

Negative terminal split while tightening. As in, the bolt came rolling out the front of the clamp. The terminal was still loose at this point on a pretty pristine Optima battery, so it wasn't an over-tightening issue. I had never heard of this happening prior. Perhaps the negative terminal was too large? That or the metal was more brittle than anything I have ran into before.

I purchased these posts simply to have something to use for recharging car batteries. They work great and they fit perfectly. Good buy for the price.
