Suggestions for Cell Connection – Large-diameter Threaded Connections

A non-conductive washer between two ring terminals on a bolt can form a very good 4-terminal connection.
Large-diameter Threaded Connections
The diameter of the ring terminals on the Reference 30k Booster’s Counter/Working cable (985-00122) is 10.5
mm (0.42”). The maximum bolt diameters that it can work with are 10 mm (metric) and 3/8” (imperial).
Some batteries may have terminals with a larger diameter. If you need to make contact with a larger-diameter
terminal, you can:
• Remove the ring terminal of the 985-00122 cable and replace it with a larger-diameter terminal. This
may require the services of a professional electrician.
• Make a small cut in the ring terminal on the cell end of a 985-00122 cable and widen the hole.
• Construct an adapter from copper or some other high-conductance metal.
• Contact Gamry Instruments for a special cable with a larger-diameter terminal.
If you need to modify the Reference 30k Booster Counter/Working cable, Gamry Instruments recommends that
you do so starting with a spare cable. Replacement cables are available; contact
sales@gamry.com and ask for
part number 985-00122.
