Does the post require a shim to allow a standard battery cable to connect to it (as do the cheaper 'twist-off' disconnects)?

No shim required. I have ordered two of these for two different battery's. One fit perfectly and the other I had to sand down the battery post. Once they are installed they work great. I hope this helps.

I like the Phoenix Gold 12 ga. wire sold here on Amazon. Better off w/o connectors. Just wrap the bare wire around the post at least 1.5 turns.

I installed cables from + to + and _ to _ then ran a cable to cranking battery also hooking + to + and _ to _ on that battery also I put a 12 volt 150 disconnect in + line to be switched on off as needed bought cables at a local big box store as needed longer cable was from auto supply house

You will have to wire to a power source. Mine goes straight to the battery terminal

The connectors you will need are the spade type (female) quick disconnect. The ones on the battery are the spade (male) ones.Good battery got it on a 30w solar panel running two small fans blowing the hot air out of a small metal shed.

Rob M. is correct. It has wires and ring connectors for the battery posts but just a pair of wires to connect to your solar panels. i had extra connectors that came with my panels so i used wire nuts to splice one onto the controllers wires then plugged it in.

The end that has the silver bolt on it goes around your negative battery terminal. Then you attach the clamp that was on the negative terminal on to the copper post on the opposite end. You then tighten the green screw top to connect the power and unscrew it about 3 revolutions to disconnect the power, you will hear a solenoid click when you connect or disconnect the power flow.

Is a quick disconnect... Less than a second..it uses default hitch connector

This is a switch so you only want positive connections - one from the battery and the other from the load. These generally attach to the largest of the 2 studs and it normally doesn't matter which one the battery cable attaches to and which one the load cable attaches to. The 3rd terminal is for the Switch and often this terminal has an S next to it but not always. You shouldn't have to do anything with your negative cable(s) which should already be connected properly. If this is a brand new circuit then connect the negative cable from the load(motor,etc)to a negative bus bar or the negative terminal of the battery This is a switch so you only want positive connections - one from the battery and the other from the load.

The terminals unscrew and you can twist wire around it and then tighten it down. There is also a hole in the post you can thread the wire through.but the hole is only big enough for #16 or smaller wire. The posts are also designed to accept a banana plug. Solder a banana connector to your wire for the best results. you can purchase wire with a banana plug on one or both ends if you done like to solder. using the screw terminals tend to come loose. The banana plugs stay put.

Yes - you can use a bolt/washer-battery terminal/ring terminal-washer/nut assembly to connect your wires to the battery. Spray with a corrosion resistant spray before assembling and after if the battery assembly will be exposed to moisture or moist outdoor conditions.Good Luck!

don't see how, it's a few millimeters past the end of the connectors. You can always cut it (with flush trim cutters) and then pull it back a few millimeters. I think you'd still get the twist maintained way closer to the pins (on the back end) than doing it conventionally

There are no cables that come with the unit. You will require two cables to connect the posts to their corresponding posts on the battery.

I think it is called NB terminal (uses a Nut and Bolt) they can be threaded or not threaded. I really like the battery foru application.

For me it was a matter of trying the gas connector on each post. If your connector goes in easy on the post then that's the right one. Do not force it.

I did not , the directions said that it was not required . I hooked it up directly to the battery post- to post + , but the directions are included . Only thing that is needed is wire , end hook ups , and having to put in a hole in the dashboard of the cart . If you have a idea what your doing it comes easy ..

Three things to check: 1. Do you really want the negative terminal on the left side of the battery? That's where it is on this particular one. 2. Check the battery configuration on your vehicle. The battery needs a different hold-down than the normal rectangular one. 3. Do you want a "post-type" hookup rather than a "screw-in" mount? This one is a "post-type".
