Hi All,

I am wanting to connect some thickish flex (think 1.5mm 3 core flex with all 3 cores stripped back an inch and twisted together) to my cars battery.

Well, connect them better anyway.

I am thinking of a terminal thats like a washer at one end (that I can connect to the bolts On the existing battery terminals), and perhaps chock block type connectors at the other end that I can attach the flex to.

Do such connectors exist (and if so, what term should I google?).

Or does anyone have a better suggestion?

TIA

Chris

Don't forget that you should also fit a fuse, as close as practical to
the battery. There is an inline fuse style that is similar to the
terminal that Tim linked to. Again primarily intended for high wattage
audio use and expensive, admittedly, but they accept thick cables and do
the job.
Halfords carry them, at the expected price premium.
