Here's one for the forum collective
The generator at the stables has a 12v 14Ah SLA battery, after about 5 years it has finally died so I started looking for a replacement. Many hours of searching throws up loads with standard 6.3mm spade terminals, but I am looking for one with vertical tabs with a 5mm holes in, worst case I suppose I could buy a common one and bend the tabs up followed by drilling holes in, but at 6.3mm wide that's not going to leave a lot of metal round the hole.
Another option is I've found some with an M5 tapped post, but worry about getting a tight enough connection without stripping the soft thread .
Measures 150mm long x 100mm wide x 100mm deep approx.
So has anyone seen anything like it?.
