THE MAINTENANCE CONNECTION, INC. Battery Terminals
General Information • Battery Terminals • Embossed characters assure legiblity of pertinent information - tool die codes, polarity & cable size.
Copper connector provides high conductivity and ease of crimping.
Electro-tin plating prevents corrosion
Battery terminals are all tin-plated, which has been proven to be a better plating for battery terminals than lead. Lead-plating is not only less conductive than tin, but it is also more porous. Because it is less conductive than tin, lead-plated terminals must often leave large areas of unprotected copper inside the barrel. This means that more bare copper is exposed which makes it more susceptible to corrosion. Once battery cables start to corrode they must be replaced because the bare copper on the inside of the lead-plated terminal accelerates corrosion. Tin-plated terminals are fully plated. This means they are less likely to corrode. The barrels of our terminals are also drilled square, as opposed to being beveled or inverted. This is to provide a better fit for the cable end which is also square. A better fit assures improved conductivity.
