How to replace battery terminals

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Battery

If the battery clamps of your car are broken, know that it is possible to easily replace them with little expense. This video shows you how to do it. We can get the pair of clamps on Amazon with the code B0BBMPKT7W for 7.39 euros, with free delivery, and the youtuber explains their features. They come with two felt gaskets to be mounted at the base of the terminals to prevent oxidation. The clamps are then installed, widening them with a screwdriver to insert them until they are tight. In the example of the video, the clamp of the negative terminal cannot mount the quick release because it hits against another engine component: it must therefore be replaced with a hex head screw. We then cut the cable from the old clamp, measure how much we need to strip the cables, group them together and position them in the housing, then tighten them with the clamp, and apply copper grease to the clamps to prevent oxidation.
