Bat mod best $1.25 I ever spent
Just wanted to say thanks I just finished the v1 battery mod and it made a HUGE difference, especially living in the Canadian prairies in the winter. For those in warmer locals the Canadian prairies get a tad cool in the winter. Tomorrow morning is forecast for -33c (-27f) without windchill for my trip to work
Thanks to all those who make this site such a fantastic resource

I think he used 3/8 bolts and nuts to fasten the battery cables to the battery for a stronger more solid connection. I did the same and have excellent connection to the batteries now.

If you still have that rubber/plastic cover over the metal part of the connector, you may want to cut and peel it also.
After peeling it, clean it with a wire brush. Now, you will never have problem unless the batteries went out.

I cleaned off the connections as described however I don't have any conductive grease so I plan to take it apart and smear the inside conections with grease then coat the outside in dielectric, so its not quite done yet I will get grease this week On a good note, for the first time ever, my battery charger fully charged both batteries. |

Gee, I just went with top post batteries to get rid of that problem. Stripped too many threads on side mount to ever want one again

"..3) Remove silly excess rubber hoods over cable ends"
Car quest sells the inserts to fill the other side of the conector, If you don't want to cut if off.

Why is this delivering more juice than just the lead terminals?
