Battery Terminals

[inapontiac 10+ year member]

I need some kind of battery terminal for the top of my Optima G34. I had some POS piece from AutoZone that basically turned the top of the G34 into something like the G31.

Something like this...

I need to connect 4 1/0 wire ends into the top of my Optima each. Is there any such product that would do the trick.

I'm thinking I may just need to make a bus bar of some sort but I would like an easier way out.

Check out this page:

Found a few there.

They make a positive and a negative size terminal.

Run two 1/0 wires with standard rings per set screw. Will do just what you need.

Set screws on the bottom of the terminal for a cleaner look when viewed from the top.

I need something for 4+ and 4- in on each battery. Those seem to only do 2 at the most.

Anyone know how to make a bus bar and can explain it to someone?

Buss bars are the easiest thing in the world.

Just get a strip of conductive metal, copper is the best, aluminum works, brass works. Drill holes in it, attach it to your battery terminal, and attach your wires to the bar.

here's the one I did, not mounted directly to the battery, but you get the idea
