Battery terminal engine bay question
OK here's a dumb question because I seem to be full of them according to people on here even though I'm just uniquely curious and want to learn.
I need a positive post to put my eye connector on for a project. I see that next to the fuse bank is a power terminal bank. Which one of those is OK to loosen and put the eye connector onto? Does anyone have a diagram or picture of it with the correct one to put a positive connection to? Thanks guys! |

Don't have a pic with me, but I used a large ring connector and slid it over the positive post under the cap. I then used a plastic sleeve from another connector and tapped it onto the post to hold the ring down.
I use it for my quick-disconnect battery maintainer. Not for the traditionalists, but effective.

I hooked up an eye terminal to one of the existing posts there, don't remember which one, just tested with a multimeter
If I get a chance will snap a picture

Here you go, if I remember right all terminals were live when I checked them with a meter, I just went with the most convenient one

What size nuts do we need for those terminals? I want to hook up my battery charger to it. I bought a charger but the clamps don't work that well - then I realized that the charger came with another set of wires with ring terminals & a cap for the other end - perfect setup!

This helps immensely so thanks for that! Yeah it would make sense that they are all charged since it's like a rail for the engine bay.

I took one off and went to home depot to match up, remember it was a standard size but this was years ago so no clue what it was
