I have heard that the terminals are not lead and that they are not very sturdy. Is this true?

yes they are not lead but the battery is still a bargain for the cranking power this sucker has

I purchased this battery for my FXST Softail HD - the battery terminals are just like the Harley branded (lead) terminals (same attachment too) and very sturdy. Just be sure to check resting voltage when you get it - mine was only 8 volts (should be over 12.6v) - called Amazon and they sent a replacement without having to send the bad one back. The replacement has been great.

I dont know about the lead terminals but my battery was a piece of junk, went right back with a new Yousa

What you have heard is incorrect they are very sturdy and have held up great even on a bike with a solid mounted big bore stoker motor

No, not true. Now there might be inserts for threading that isn't lead, but I'm not sure about that. And my terminals are solid as a rock.

I really can't answer that forsure. It appears to be largely a plastic product. If there is lead I'm not sure where it would even be unless it's where the batteries go in the base of the unit. Sorry!

As long as it will hold the battery firmly in place, you can use heavy wire. Add an extra wrap of wire for extra security if there's enough room. Make sure that the wire won't touch the terminals if the battery happens to move. Apply plenty of insulation, like electrical tape around each terminal and secure it with a zip-tie so it doesn't unravel.

Terminals r decent so far I'm currently at 1/2 ohm but its only been two weeks I Will Say this tho this is the dual box on the SINGLE boxes I had 2 years ago they could not handle 1 ohm

Yes. Just do not ground the gold terminal. Gold terminal - GroundMiddle terminal - LoadOther terminal - Positive (Battery)

Check out the terminals. If they are the same as the old ones it should work fine.

The leads are copper but have been tinned (solder applied) which makes them appear silver. I installed mine without any problem by using wire nuts to attach the leads to the existing 12 gauge copper wiring that originally went to a switch.

Yes, but the wires do not have terminals. You either wire it in or crimp on your own terminals. Has a nice, soft green background light at night.

Yes they are joined which is normal as not to become a tangled mess if they were separated. They are split at the ends giving you plenty of room to hook up to the battery. Also the cover being one color is normal as well . The terminals are two different colors. One is black and one is red which is standard. I have used these several times over the years and they are holding up very well.The terminals are two differnt colors. One is black the other red

The bases are sturdy but if you mean 'heavy', then that are not. They're simply a charge port and as such are probably about 95% plastic. I have a master system and about 4 of the handsets connected to it. Never had a problem with any of it. But the phone sits high in the charger, so if you bump it, it will fall over.

It is those thin pieces of metal sticking out to each side. I slide the wire through those little holes then apply the solder. The + & - are a bit confusing. What I have found is ....if the LED is laying flat with the + in the right hand corner near you, then the + terminal is on the side opposite you. If you hook it up backwards.....it just won't work, but no damage. Make sure it is heat sinked with thermal grease......otherwise it will burn itself out in just a couple seconds.

The valve body is bronze. I've disassembled the relief valves and seen no lead there. Not sure about the test ports but can't imagine any there either.

I used them around 9 months ago and they don't show any sign of corrosion, I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. The best of them is they have a self drilling tip and a square head, so your power screwdriver do not slip, also you can place the screw on the tip of your screwdriver and it will hold it, and you do the job very fast, their design is the best. I have tried similar designs. They are relatively thin, just check how much load they will bear.

It's the terminals that have the connecting wires underneath the terminals. I had to return both of mine because they were marked 110/120 volt coil, but in reality they were 24 volt coils and will burn up when connected to 120 volts. Your hopefully are correctly marked.Hope this helpsBobby

I believe it is stranded copper. I can't see it, but it doesn't feel as stiff as solid copper usually does, so I would think it is stranded.

Yes they are. I checked them with a lead testing kit and they are fine. I love my set!

I had to check out the terminals with a meter to be sure of them. The diagrams were not too clear. I'm a retired radio engineer.
