The supplier lists it as model YD264, describes the metal as pure copper with a galvanized finish, and gives a weight of 135 g. Easy Life Markets offers it in two options, shown in the variant selector as \"Red Black\" and \"SET1\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA terminal clamp looks like a minor part, but every amp the starter motor draws has to pass through it. When the clamp is corroded, cracked or stretched, the connection gets poor, and a healthy battery starts behaving like a flat one. Swapping the clamp is one of the cheaper electrical repairs you can do on a car.

Each clamp has a round ring that drops over the battery post, with a pinch bolt and a locking nut at the split to draw the ring tight. Beside the ring is a flat pressure plate held down by three threaded studs with nuts. Cable ends sit under that plate and are clamped when the nuts are tightened, which gives you room for the main cable and extra feeds such as an accessory or charging lead. The red-collared clamp is stamped with a plus sign. The metal has a bright silver-coloured plated finish, and the plastic collar covers part of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWill It Suit Your Battery?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring style shown is the kind used on round, tapered top posts, which is what most car batteries have.

A thin smear of petroleum jelly or terminal grease over the finished connection helps keep moisture and acid vapour away. Heavy corrosion on one post only can point to overcharging or a leaking post seal, so have the charging voltage checked if it keeps coming back.
