What Is a Battery Terminal Called?
A battery terminal is a crucial component of your vehicle's electrical system. It is the point where the battery connects to the rest of the electrical system. The two main types of battery terminals are battery cable ends and battery terminal connectors. These terminals play a vital role in ensuring a secure and reliable connection between the battery and the electrical components of your vehicle.
Which Battery Terminal to Disconnect First?
When working on your vehicle's electrical system or performing maintenance that requires disconnecting the battery, it's important to know which battery terminal to disconnect first. In general, it is recommended to disconnect the negative (black) battery terminal first before disconnecting the positive (red) terminal. This sequence minimizes the risk of accidental electrical contact and ensures safety during the process.
How Much Does a Battery Terminal Cost?
The cost of a battery terminal can vary depending on the type, material, and brand. On average, you can expect to pay between $5 and $20 for a single battery terminal. Battery terminal kits that include multiple terminals and connectors may cost between $10 and $50, depending on the components included. The exact cost may also depend on whether you choose standard or heavy-duty terminals.
