Battery issues, check gauges

[Burninfuel]

The dash alarms and says check gauges, battery connections are the issue.
I found these https://www.ebay.com/itm/292130631769
good looking and enough access for many cables. Positive and negative per set.
Anything better out there ??

Yes, search for military grade terminals, made out of lead and ad the covers to the order.
You need to crimp the wires anyway.

Other option - buy a set of new heavy gauge wires including the terminals from genos garage.

^^^what he said

Mil spec terminals are the way to go for durability AND flexability of still adding more wires.
Available from amazon or Mcmaster Carr

Speaking of battery terminals, I was highly interested when I happened upon this a while back which I saw in an ebay ad. However, I cannot find this exact toolless terminal on ebay any longer. Does anyone know who makes these? I'm sure they're Chinesium, but seemed worth at least looking into. Any help appreciated.

I have found the exact terminals without the toolless clamping feature, but that is all I could find.
If someone could make a quality terminal with these features in the pic above, I'd be all over it. I'd pay big bucks if its quality/useable kit. But as I said, I cant even find them now.

I personally prefer the robustness and versatility of the mil spec battery terminals,
That big said, I did a google image search for you, and it came up with this eBay link--

PLENTY of those available, though at EIGHT times the price of the mil spec terminals.

Well looking a little deeper, that auctions for a PAIR of the quick connect terminus you want, so price is only 4 times higher then the mil spec terminals.

Seafish, you knoe I'm too far behind the times. I didn't even know you could google search an image. Thank you and thanks so much for your great informative posts. Just read about your power steering filter setup.
