Battery Connector Terminals - Question (CTEK related)

[simonej]

Quick question;

Does anyone know what size the bolts are on the battery connector terminals? It's for a CTEK permanent connection lead and I'm nowhere near the car to be able to check. It wouldn't surprise me if they've come out of the factory with a selection of each!

The options from CTEK are M6: 6.4mm, M8: 8.4mm and M10: 10.5mm

You can connect to anything live, not just the battery. Examples are some of the unused spade receptacles on the fusebox (where relays could go but dont on a TVR) or the 100A fuse under the chassis. Just a thought...

The standard battery connectors take a 13mm spanner, so M8 will be close enough

Excellent. Cheers, that's the one!

Lwt: That's also something I may look into for extra power sources. Cheers.
