Battery Connection Anti-Corrosion Gel and Other Connections Too

[HighHP]

Radio shack. 17.95 probably 45 years ago. I got itvwhen I got tired of having to plug in the heathkit vtvm. Thought about getting a digital one 25 years ago, a really nice Fluke from the supplier we bought from at work. But this one still does everything I need.

Hey....I too have that same RS multi-meter collecting dust on my shelf.

Battery connection complete. I can open doors again!

Using battery tender jr but it is not as good as CTEK but its a pain to go back and install ctek. Can I cut the wire off and connect to ctek terminal? Do some electric hack job?

Battery Tender Jr is a garbage. My ctek understood in 3 min that my battery is fully charged. Tender jr stays red forever. Im returning it.

Maybe you have a bad connection?

Well look at this one. Includes pigtails and more to connect permanently to your battery. I always use a volt meter to verify functionality no matter what charger I use.

What nut? 4 screws only. If you use a plate frame make sure it is metal and not plastic that melts due to exhaust heat.

I just bought a billet aluminum license plate frame. Do you recommend using spacers (aluminum) as well? I thought about rubber or nylon but figured the head might be an issue considering some of the posts.

Some people use metal spacers. I have not used them ever, but I think Cooltech has some ready to go.
