Fat-Ferret 857 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) My last battery packed in, So I bought another, Not a deben one this time, I got a 22ah 12v from ebay for half the price, Anyway, I got the battery, and the deben connector so I can plug either the charger or the lamp socket on it, My only trouble has been finding the right connectors that bolt onto the battery and then accept the female spade ends from the deben connector - I have been to a few electrical joints this evening, But nobody had them or knew what the were, I have attached a picture so you can see, Basically, I need a small male spade connector with a bolt on ring, So I can bolt it on the battery and connect the female spades as in the picture Edited November 9, 2009 by Fat-Ferret Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firdom 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 i used to work as an agricultural mechanic and we used to keep assorted boxes of connectors and they would have what you need Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maty j 6 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 You mean terminals like this..... Try these, Just make sure you have the correct size ring, Too tight could be a disarstar http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m38.l1313&_nkw=ring+crimps&_sacat=See-All-Categories Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There similiar to yours, they bolt on in the ring, but instead if crimping the wire to to them, there should be a spade where I can push my female terminals onto! My other battery has them, But its getting fixed at the minute Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,379 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 make a set up ? get two round terminals and 2 males and 2 pieces of wire crimp here and there and bobs your uncle... connections what you need Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Get a picture of your terminals up mate, then we can see what you're on about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nakednutt 58 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 can you not make some up like malt has done but put 2 male spades on it. just watch the length of the wire as male spades aint insulated so they could bridge together Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nakednutt 58 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 the only insulated male spade ends i've seen are just the bottom of them where you crimp it thats insulated. if youve got any send some this way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoggerman 5 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 go to maplins........ thats where i get all my bits and pieces. p.s i use 15 amp red&black twincore cable with un-shielded connecters at the end.. and insert into this either a pair of crocodile clips connected by about a foot of cable and shielded connecters or a fag-lighter on a foot of cable and shielded connecters this way i can run from a car cigar-lighter or strait from a battery either under the bonnet or a drycell in the floorwell or a bag over the shoulder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fat-Ferret 857 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I snipped the wires, and soldered on ring crimps, I was wasting too much time looking for them other things, If I come across them I'll chnage them, But for now, these will do, too much lamping to do!
