Is there a way to "test" for a bad battery terminal? I've had electrical problems on/off for a couple of years now. I have replaced 3 brand new battery and 4 alternators within the last 2 years. The problem seems to stem from bad battery terminals. I seem to be replacing the terminals every 6 months. I try cleaning the terminals with a wire brush and I measure 14v easily at the battery. After 2 days, I see 11.8v or lower at the battery which prompts me to reclean the terminals again.

Does anyony have any suggestions on "Better" battery terminals than Stock, Stinger or Precision Power.

TIA

I have been looking too but in your case i think you have some type of electrical short or something that stays on do you have a stereo amp? maybe hook up a switch for the remote on so it makes sure that its off... also 11.8 from 12v isnt too much of a drop though

I bit the bullet and bought the JL audio battery terminals havent recieved yet, I wish my battery had a side mount too because im still trying to figure out where im going to put wires
2 4 ga amp wires,
one running from alternator
and one for the stock wiring...
