Attaching charge cables to start battery???

How do you attach the charge cable with the ring type end? I thought it would be just a matter of putting them over the terminals but the terminals seem way to wide. There must be another way

Pics would be very handy.
Cheers in advance!

LOL nah u put them between the Nut and bolt that holds the terminals on and then when u tighten the nut up it holds it in aswell as holding the terminal onto the battery..

r u sure u can instal this battery u got lol.....jk

So it does'nt have to fit around the terminal? Won't the nut squash it? Kinda like using a washer that does'nt fit over the bolt:rolleyes:

It's a comedy to me too:p

HAHA atleast its amusing

the nut is supposed to squash it lol so it has a constant contact basically if its not in constant contact then the feed will break every now and then. just like if the terminals are loose u may not be able to start ur car without wiggling them etc.

lol thats where it wuld go neway

So it'll squash it, not bust it. Cool:)

Now to apply for that Auto Elec' position:???:

Na did this morn'. last nights confusion was due to me not being able to see what I was talking about. Had a good look this morning and it was all very straight forward and easy to rig up:)
Purchased 120A/H Bond AGM ($295) and now I have a dual batt' set-up to run the fridge and lights, just in time for tomorrows trip up the coast:p

Cheers.
