Battery Terminals
My battery terminals are just the basic, bare type. I am very careful around it but I see many pictures of peoples batteries with insulated plastic/rubber covers that go over the + (red) terminal to help prevent an inadvertant short. Does anyone know where to get that kind of a cover? I went to a local auto part store and they didn't have anything like that. I thought it would be an easy thing to find. I guess I could just fab something up, but I can't imagine there isn't an easy source for this. I'm just having trouble finding that source. Thanks.

Try your local marine supply store...

They should have them with their battery items...

Terminal insulator
Mirose:

NAPA has them in various styles. Slit the cable portion and use a zip tie to hold it on since you already have the terminal on the cable.

Thanks. I don't know why it was so hard for me to find them online. Seems kinda silly that they were right there on NAPA's site.

Oh well,

-Michael
