- We show how to replace your battery terminal connectors with better performing ones, without cutting the OEMwires. This is what we found to be the safest way to add on winch cables, power for a lightbar, and any other power need. Unlike military spec. car battery terminals, these battery post terminals have multiple connections. More than enough to safely handle all those 12 volt power add-ons. So if you're looking how to change battery terminals and want the best battery terminal replacement clamp, take a close look at the SDHQ battery terminal connectors. They have a battery terminal for; Ford Raptor, Ford F150, F250 & F 350, Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, Tundra, Nissan Xterra, Armada, Titan, Frontier, Pathfinder.

I'm so glad you posted this short video. I have the same kit waiting to be installed on my truck. Thanks for going through your process. I was looking all over for a how to video- my search is over!! Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the video! purchased mine a couple of days ago and arrives today, cant wait to upgrade mine
Been looking for a long time, never found what I needed until this! Thank you, this is perfect!
No problem!
I recently did aftermarket headlights on my Tundra, and this is definitely on my buy list, especially since I have plans for a switch panel, auxiliary lights, and a winch. Thanks for the video going over it!
I was seriously looking for a battery terminal to do what your video is about today! Thanks for the info!
Glad we could help!
This is better than sliced bread. Finally I have found the best 'Taco battery terminal replacement kit. Am ordering one tonight!
Love the bloopers Thanks Guys this is right in time for me, have been looking for good terminals, for a 2nd battery for a fridge
Our pleasure!
Ordered these today! Thanks for the recommendation.
Love your content, and I love seeing both you and your wife involved with your channel. With that being said, I absolutely love your outtakes. Hahaha You guys are the best!! Keep up the great content.
Awesome! Thank you!
Have had this still in the package for almost a year now and never wanted to attempt it alone but now feel confident thanks to your video.
You can do it!
Thanks for keeping these videos available. I have a 2019 Tacoma I've been upfitting for overlanding for the last three years. It feels live I've done a thousand upgrades with lots more still to go. In the last couple of months, I've been working on cleaning the electrical connections under the hood and cab. My next project will be to consolidate 3 bus bars near the battery. Thanks to this video, I'll will upgrade my messy battery terminals at the same time.
your detailed informative how to videos help a beginner off-roader like my self A lot. Thank you
Glad to hear it!
Love the video and can’t wait to get a set for my 2016 4Runner. Also love watching you guys videos for the bloopers at the end, hahaha!!!!!
Glad you like them!
Excellent information! Excellent video! Excellent entertainment!!! Thanks again!
Our pleasure!
Thank you for this video, great job, and very cool parts, love the bloopers, hilarious, you guys rock!!!
Thanks so much!!
Wow those are amazing. Thank you for sharing this I will be ordering some for my XJ Really appreciate your videos 👏🏻
Glad you like them!
Hey thanks for that info. I was just talking to my electrical supplier today. That's exactly what I need.👍👍
Glad I could help
Thanks for the video, best I've seen so far.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey M&M! I just now experienced the rattling of the exhaust pipe on the skid plate on my FJ. So I went back to your old video on this subject. I've got the old RCI skids. After looking at the new transfer case skid you install. I stole the idea. Cut a hole and welded up a drop pocket. Works great. But I didn't think about drilling holes in it for rocks and water to get out. So that helped too. Old videos are great to go back on. Thanks. Problem solved!!!
Very cool!
I am liking this already .
Great for the 4 runner, but i need it for my boat. Great video, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video guys.
Thanks for watching!
Have the same ones on my tundra I have a lot of there products building me traction bars right now thry make awesome stuff
Knukoncepts battery terminal. I love them. Also made from solid aluminum chunks. With multiple wiring points
I need this. Thanks for the video.
No problem 👍
I searched for quality products and ease of installation... I didn't like what i found and then, BAM! Your video came up. I should have know better, I'm actually a subscriber and I know you know your stuff and also prefer the good stuff. PS: Totally enjoy the Ms. helping out. 😉 Thank you!!
You are welcome!
So i just received the SDHQ terminals, they are perfect for my beast. Your review was right on point, however, I would add one more comment, YOUR tutorial made this super easy to set up. No instructions provided in the package. Yes, one can figure it out, but a picture is worth a thousand words!
Great vid, and on the to do list. 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Some newer rigs have very specific battery terminals on both positive and negative side, and in some cases communicate with the ECM/BCM.. I added a 12V Bus Bar, 1 heavy lead to the bus and then all my add ons off the bus.
Have any pictures?
Great beard! And a good video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Perfect idea and very sharp looking. I only wish they made them in tinned copper. Aluminum doesn't conduct as well as copper and tinned copper is more resistant to corrosion and a better conductor especially at higher amperage. I haven't seen a single one in tinned copper so far though so maybe cost is a factor, I really dont know. Also 99% of the ones sold on amazon are Chinese Aluminum and never sold with a cover. Enlarging a battery terminal that big and not providing a cover or even an option to buy one is insane. Really dangerous. I'm glad you guys found a cover. Super smart.
I had aluminum supplying my rv sub panel - yeah it burned down cause the aluminum expands and contracts so much with temperature changes the connection became loose. Never will I use aluminum again
@@kencreel5660 oh yes I forgot about that also. Now your added more types of metal also and the odds that you'll be connecting to another aluminum connection are slim to none. Can't believe they only make these in aluminum with no intentions of even offering tin plated copper. Such a waste. I'm returning mine tomorrow I also had an issue that these are cut straight and they go on a flared terminal which loosens with vibration since it's not also flared.
Love the upgrade but I would have cleaned all the connections before attaching to those nice new terminals.
I got sick of looking at my home made trailer wiring..while it was functional it was ugly...I just dropped 500$ on everything needed to clean up...good functional wiring setups aren't cheap but I feel is definitely worth it..I might have to get one of these for my 4Runner
Always enjoy your videos, I never considered or thought aluminum as being a good conductor of electricity, shows you how much I know ! ? Ha
It’s not as good as copper and used to be common in household wiring, but it corrodes easily comparatively. Interesting to see how these hold up over time.
The beard looks good on Mark. He should keep it. Great video again, I’ll definitely look into these pieces!
Too late, shaved it off.
@@WanderlostOverland grow it back, lol
Thanks looks good
Thank you!
Thanks for the good informative video. You should talk with manufacturer and offer your viewers a 10% discount. I found this same kit minus the shrink tube for $8 cheaper on Cali-Raised Off-road.
Great idea!
Safer process, disconnect the negative, do all the work on the positive first, that way if you happen to hit a ground with a wrench you will not spark. then complete all the final work on the negative. I really do like the terminals, I think they are a great optioin.
remove Negative first, install Negative last !! Negative first, Negative last!
Nice
Thanks
Thanks! Your install videos are by far the best! Do you think this terminal will stretch to install on a group 31 battery? The stock one is too short and needs an extender
Thanks for watching! I have no idea if they will work in your case, sorry.
Those look Great!! Definitely will be getting these for @jack4str when we go to do dual battery electrical system. Beard looks great!!
More non-metric sizes to add to the tool bag... why couldn't they go with metric on a kit made for Toyotas?
Thanks guys, cant find the video description.
My guess is the anti seize is important on the bolts because of the disimular metals of the stainless and aluminum. That is a serious battery lug.
nice
Thanks!
Very nice! Good quality, and not too expensive either. I will be picking these up for my FJ, did you add these to yours?
Yes we did, along with a dual battery system. That video will be up in a week or so.
Go Merri !!! Not just another pretty face, she actually gets down and dirty(Although she needed to remove them purrdy rings for safety lol) to make sure Mark's explanations go smooth..
Overall a great VIDEO you guys!!!
PS: Where was this a few decades ago when I needed it for my 2nd Gen 4Runner...
PPS: Mark, LOVIN' that awesome Beard, Sir.. Merri says she doesn't like it BUT, I know deep down she LOVES IT!!! (As much as my wife Loves mine).
Kiss Kiss, you are one of my all-time favs. LOL Yeah, I know, take off the rings, tie my hair back, wear safety goggles, etc. Thanks for always watching! I am sure your beard is fabulous. -Merri
Do you now if the FJ Cruiser has an OEM amperage sensor on the negative terminal?
Bloopers are the best...... haahaa
Remote disconnect would be great
Exactly what I've been looking for!! Will this work on a 2014 gmc sierra 1500? I only ask because you only mentioned Toyota
That you'll have to ask the manufacturer about, we're not sure.
Holy beard batman!!! lol
@wanderlustoverland Is replacing the factor ground wire necessary? It's tied into my factory terminal which I plan to bolt to the top. (2014 FJ) They are similar to your 4runner terminals
I have a 2011 Ford f150. My positive side needs to be replaced. Want to go back with something more upgrading.
How many extra amps did you get after installing ?
$140 😳🤷🏻, but you do get tiny little tube of never seize, sweet! Looks like the ultimate battery terminal is better, and only third the price.
I need this because my battery terminals are brutal mess. But wanna hear your long term review first. I’m a little worried about aluminum oxide increases the resistance. I know aluminum terminal/wires have been used in homes, but that’s quite different environment than car’s engine bay.
I have the same concern. Going to spray them with a battery terminal protectant, see how that works.
If you use aluminum go to electrical supply or home depot and put on Noalox. It stops the chemical reaction between copper and aluminum!!
Have had mine on since 2018. Zero issues. Still look brand new.
They should’ve color (+red, -black) code to the terminal block.
Do you have any idea where I can get some of those self crimping terminal connectors? (2:20 mark) That would sure save me some trouble if I wanted to use an alternate (non SDHQ) terminal connection.
Unfortunately we don't. If you find a source please let us know. If you're only going to be doing a few large gauge connections these would be much easier, and probably cheaper, then buying a HD crimper.
@@WanderlostOverland My thoughts exactly. Thanks. 'll let you know if I do find anything.
Getting old and not being able to remember simple verbiage is a bitch isn't it! With your add on's in this case the new battery terminal connector, one might want to think about presentation. Taking the time to pull the battery off camera and clean it and before installing the terminals explaining the importance of cleaning the battery posts and possible terminal anti-corrosion sealant after installation of your new components. Great video though.
Live in Tucson where can I git some 2 mike
Great video! But seriously $100 for battery terminals! Hahahahahaha! That's silly.
Wow, they should double...no, triple the price of those terminals!!
Where can I buy theses and the name of them when I ask for them
Silly question, does disconnecting the battery reset anything? That is the one thing keeping me from doing this much needed upgrade. Ty
No, you'll be fine.
@@WanderlostOverland great thanks for replying!
Usually put shrink over first😂
Will they work on a 2016 Ram 2500?
did you figure this out for a 16 ram?
Which material the terminal are made ?
aluminum
80$$?
Knukoncept shown by far audio fabrication two years ago are steel,seem better idea. Both good though.
Knukoncept did not mirror the terminals. Unfortunate and also not the options on this one. This looks far superior.
You are LITERALLY 2 weeks late on telling me this!!! LOL Oh well... more money out.
Where can u get these without paying an exorbitant amount of money
Did ur channel get hacked??? Truth hurts link?
Your better off fitting a separate buss bar a few inches from the battery than one of these, ally is not a good material at all for a terminal, it heat stresses, doesn't conduct as well as a brass or tinned copper terminal AND it reacts with copper wire.
I'm sorry but that bolt up compression terminal is the worst idea I've ever seen for a heavy load cable! Crimp or solder, you will never achieve a cold weld with that POS of a terminal.
Sorry i guess you intend well but I'm afraid you missed the mark on this one, a truly awful piece of kit IMHO
$140 good lord. I'll pass
If it's not 100% Brass with stainless bolts ,,,,,,, it's junk. $75.00 ?? Hhahahahaahahahahaaah.
