SAE and DIN Posts
These are posts in the shape of truncated 
cones with slightly different diameters to  
indicate polarity. The positive post is larger 
than the negative post.

PLEASE REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATIONS BELOW FOR TERMINAL DETAILS.

Stud Posts
These terminals have a stud post with various 
threads as specified for each battery

Dual Terminal Posts
These terminals have a stud post and SAE 
post.

Female Thread
This type of terminal consists of a female thread 
which can take various adapters/terminals with 
an M6 or M4 thread as specified for each battery. 
Please refer to the product label for torque  
specifications.

SAE 3/8 -16” Female Thread
This is an SAE post which can be installed on female 
M6 terminals. The SAE post has a 3/8-16” female 
threaded post.

Side 3/8 -16” Female Thread
Side terminals are sometimes supplied in addition 
to top terminals. In this case, top terminals allow the 
fixing of other connections to power accessories. 

Front Terminal Adapters
These connect to female inserts on the top 
of the battery to allow for connections on the 
front of the battery.
