Battery Terminals (Lead, Copper, Brass)
A battery terminal is known as an electrical contact point that connects a battery to a load or charger, serving as the interface between the battery and an external circuit. Battery terminals come in two types: 1st is positive, and 2nd is negative, which facilitate the flow of current. The design and size of battery terminals can vary depending on the type of battery. Generally, terminals are made from lead or lead alloys to enhance strength and resist corrosion, although other metals such as copper or brass may be used in certain applications. Each Metal has its own characteristics. These terminals ensure a secure electrical connection between the battery and the circuit. We provide a wide range of Standard and High-Quality battery terminals in various metric and imperial sizes. Our broad range of terminals are manufactured to deliver optimum performance, quality and value.

Characteristics of battery terminals:
- Copper battery terminals deliver the highest electrical conductivity, offer excellent strength, and can be easily soldered or crimped with the appropriate tools.
- Lead battery terminals are made from a lead alloy that includes antimony, which provides the terminal with increased tensile strength and hardness.
- Lead top post battery terminals are highly malleable and known for excellent conductivity.
- Lead terminals have minimal corrosion over time, because of their composition of lead-antimony alloy.
- Brass battery terminals are ideal for use in corrosive environments, such as marine electrical systems, due to their resistance to corrosion and durability.
- Typically made from corrosion-resistant materials like brass, copper, or lead.
- Includes stud-type, lug, and push-on terminals to suit application needs.
- Often feature protective covers to prevent short circuits and accidental contact.
- Designed for quick installation and removal, simplifying battery servicing.
Industrial purpose and use of metal cable glands:
