Need to power some lights and a winch. Prefer not to use the same bolt/nut that pinches the terminal onto the battery post.

Anyone have a source for aftermarket terminals I can connect to the OEM +/- cables and also run additional wires to the terminals???

I've seen some of the Stereo/Audio web sites that sell them, but not feeling the "hole" you put the wires into. Prefer a stud/nut setup and a wire with a lead at the end.

I've googled a bunch, I'm "meh" about all I've seen so far. Quadratec has some that seem the closest to what I want. Just not 100% sure how they connect to the OEM cables.

Thanks!

Marine terminals usually utilize a stud/nut combo.

I have these on mine. It's nice not to have to mess with the terminal to disconnect the battery.

I'm looking into getting a marine battery also either the op blue top or die hard plat

I have the optima red top. Great battery plus has two sets of terminals!

Marine-style battery clamps have a vertical binding post, about 1" high, with a wing nut.

Ordnance-style clamps have a horizontal binding post, with 3/4"-7/8" of useful length under the hex nut.

What I prefer is to mount a distribution post near the battery, run a feeder lead to it, and then wire accessory feeds to the post (keeping all of the extra leads off of the battery in the first place.)
