Knu's are really good. It's what I have. And they sell for $12/piece on Knu's site, so unless that $25 is shipped, it's the same......and even then, the price difference is going to be about $5.

I personally hate the Knu terminals. They dont fit on battery posts and have stupid chamfers where the terminal goes, "welding" terminals do not fit.

Stinger for me.

I wanna try the jl ones because of the compression fittings

Exactly what I said. $12/piece x 2 = $24 (plus $5 shipped). So, about the same price either way you slice it.

I have the Knu terminals, and I like them. I like them because they have a 1/0 and 4ga input/outputs, as well as a ring terminal on top for even more connections.

The only problem that I have is that my hood hits them, but that is my fault because the battery I have is taller than OEM.

I also have the Knu terminals (both pos/neg) They were the only ones i could find that had 2 large wire fittings AND supported a ring type terminal.

The JL terminals look pretty cool, but not the only compression battery terminal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Coming this April....

Worst design ever.

It almost never fits correctly.

i actually like the compression fittings for funnction's sake. granted they're a pain to install and doesn't fit the wire perfectly, but they do have a much more secure grip on the wire and have a much larger contact area than a standerd screw mount.

Right...and using a sleeve to adapt different gauges on a set screw is a perfect design //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

In terms of install speed the compression is a slow go, but it offers greater flexibility and a lot better current transfer.

why not make one for use with 6- 8 runs of 1/0 guage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif thats what id like to get //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Maybe make a terminal that fits your wire (kolossus) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
