Hi, I just ordered a Ampere Time Lithium Iron battery and I noticed that it does not have terminals like a normal battery, will I have to cut off the ends of my cables and replace them with something else, or is there another way of doing it? Thanks

There are several ways of doing it. A photo of the battery would help to get you on the right track
They are just upside down bolts. Get a good copper end to crimp on your wires.
It depends on which battery you got. You don't need to modify the cables.

Every battery listed on their website has these post.

Well can't see those very well. They look like this.
This is the way I would do it as well. Make sure cable is clean, a dab of dielectric grease worked into the wire to prevent corrosion, crimp the terminal on and cover with a piece of heatshrink tubing to add protection and make a neat job out of it.Quote:
