My application was not on the battery post. There are other units available for that type of application. I used it on my rv to keep the battery from draining when not in use. It works well and I installed it "in line" in the same manner you would wire a light switch.

The purpose of this switch is to be able to cut off or interrupt the hot wire (red) battery cable. To keep battery from discharging when not being used without having to disconnect your cable. You will need to pick up the appropriate size jumper which is a cable that will be hook to your battery and to one side of switch. Then you connect the existing battery cable to the other side and it functions just like a light switch. I use mine on jet skis where the battery is way down in a whole and I have to disconnect the batteries every winter to keep the from going dead, This way I just have to reach in and turn the switch

You will have to run cables to it. There are switches that do attach to the post, but not this one.

This was easy to install, but you will need an extra battery cable to go from the terminal to one connector on the switch with another cable going from the second terminal on the switch to the bus bar or grounding location.

You need to purchase another cable for between the battery and the switch and then the other terminal on the switch connects to the car with the existing + wire. You will prob have to change the connector to attach to the existing wire.

you slide it in the opposite direction you did when you inserted it. If there is a lock hinge you need to lift the battery's back side above it, of course.

You will have to install your own battery ends, be it Deans, Traxxas, etc, its pretty easy to do.

There is also connectors that slide right onto the battery post you can get those at lowes or hardware store the two prong molded connectors I order online

Greg, I have one of these on the front & I don't care a lick for it! Buy a bigger unit if you can! As far as wiring, I just made up a 2 strand wire harness & ran it along the inside edge of my deep v right down to the battery. I then split it & put a connecter for each post. It works like a charm! I'm no Guru when it comes to this kind of stuff either and I made it work. cbmgh@comcast.net if I cabn be of further assistance to you. CB

I use a Battery Tender to charge it although it hardly ever needs charging. It seems to hold a charge better than a lead acid battery. Not sure about fitment, I am sure it will go in the problem would be if it is too small. It is tiny compared to a regular battery and you have to stick foam pads on it that come with the battery to make it big enough to fit in your stock battery box. Mine was about 2/3rds the size of the stock battery.

You have to loosen the nut on the battery terminal and strip the wire and secure it under the nut. I went and bought an open terminal instead of using bare wire.

As you face the trunk the battery sits with the + terminal toward the front and the - terminal toward the rear. As you read the battery info on top, the + terminal is left. Hope this helps.

Drill the right-size hole (3/4", I think), then notch the top part just slightly. There are flanges the pop out on the sides that hold the adapter in the hole, and the slightly bigger one by the hinge keeps it from rotating once in place. This works perfectly in both vehicles I installed it in.... almost looks like a factory item.

What kind of question is that? This item is designed to fit the standard battery posts of batteries used in cars and trucks. Other than that, what more do you need to know? My regards.

You cut off the two connectors already on the wire, and crimp ring terminals on the ends. Make sure the rings are big enough for the battery terminal you buy. Get a terminal for the battery that has a post and wing nut.

On either side there is a very small indentation underneath the red plastic. You can put a screwdriver or something in there and gently push the red plastic piece off the black backing and then install the battery. Then snap the red plastic back on the black backing. Hope this helps.

I bought a aftermarket positive battery terminal like used to hook up a amp and subwoofers so it gives you spot for your original factory positive wires for the car to the terminal but also gives you a few different spots to hook up accessories like amps or other 12volt accessories and hooked my main positive wires so car starts and all system work 100% like factory set up and ran the power wire from light kit to that same aftermarket terminal and put in another 15amp in line fuse to be 100% safe that lights don't get ruined and car is safe as well..

Well you don't take the paper packaging off the battery. On the back there are 4 metal contacts that must meet with the contacts on the battery holder of the phone. It shouldn't be too difficult to install.

You lay it on top. Depending on phone you will need to purchase an adapter that goes inside on the battery for your phone to recieve the charge this puts out though.

if the battery is out of the car just connect the neg and pos clamps directly to the respective posts on the battery.
