Red and black battery post cover
Are you talking about the larger posts that would hook up to a car? Or the screw posts also?Quote:

You're supposed to cover the entire positive posts.
So where do I buy these covers? Auto parts store?Quote:

Wonder why when you buy a boat from BPS, they don’t have those covers on them?

Because not all states require them, good ol Illinois is one of them though. Make sure your batteries are strapped down too.Quote:

I don't think I have ever seen a battery post cover, besides the one that comes on the battery when new. Anybody got a link to one that meets IL. requirements?

It doesnt specify what to use just covered with insulated material.

I'm using something like this, on both terminals, all batteries. Can usually get them at Auto parts store, farm and home stores, etc.
For wires that comes in the sides, I cut a slit for them. I have more wires than will fit in the hole, cut it, taped around them to hold it on.
This is news to me also....Both my batteries are in plastic battery box's with the correct lids....is this good enough or do I still need to cover the post?
Battery boxes are good. They keep something from falling on the post and arcing out.Quote:
