What is the Battery Terminal Ends all about?

Your car’s battery plays a significant role during cranking and there must be a way to get electricity from the battery to the starter and spark plugs. This is done with battery cables; there are two that connect to the battery -- one to the positive terminal and one to the negative terminal. Battery terminal ends are nothing more than clamps. They connect the cables to the terminals and hold them there securely.

Over time, battery terminal ends will corrode, particularly if you don’t have regular maintenance performed on the battery. Both the terminals and ends should be cleaned regularly to remove corrosion and build up.

If a terminal end fails, the cable will come loose from the battery. This will result in no electricity during starting. If the car isn’t already running, it will not crank. If the terminal end fails while driving, the car will continue to operate, but it will not crank again after being turned off.

Keep in mind:

Battery terminal ends should be inspected during all regular maintenance services.
Battery terminal ends should be properly maintained to prolong their life and avoid issues with corrosion.

How it's done:

The battery is located. The battery terminal ends are verified that they need to be replaced. The battery terminals are disconnected.
The defective battery terminal ends are removed by cutting the cables or unbolting the connections.
The battery terminals are cleaned. The new battery terminal ends are installed onto the cables and reconnected to the battery.
The battery terminal ends are tightened to the battery and coated with a battery protection spray.
The vehicle is tested for proper operation of the battery terminal ends by starting engine.

Our recommendation:

Battery terminal ends are critical components of your vehicle's charging system. They ensure that the battery stays connected to the system, providing electricity for cranking and allowing the battery to recharge while the alternator is running. Over time, corrosion can eat into the metal, eventually compromising your battery terminal ends. Have your terminal ends professionally inspected and maintained at all regular service intervals.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Battery Terminal Ends?

Green or white corrosion around battery terminals
Battery light on in dashboard
Vehicle will not crank

How important is this service?

Without a constant connection to the battery, your car will not crank. It won’t stop the engine from running, but it will prevent it from cranking after being turned off. Have your battery and battery cables maintained at all times, and the terminal ends replaced if damage is noticed.

Even though Terry was sent the wrong part twice. He was able to complete the job. He personally went to the dealership and ordered the correct part. Then had them overnight it so he could install it the next day. Way to go Terry thanks for a job well done!

Jason really came through at the last minute and worked late through the night. He helped diagnose a few problems I had and explained what he was doing. I'll definitely schedule him for a few other things I'd like fixed in the future. Thanks!

Ok, this is a little long but I'd love to hear your guys thoughts. I bought a 2014 Impreza AWD 135k miles with the automatic CVT transmission two days ago to flip ($1000) worth (~$7500). The guy got the car from a dealer auction, said it needed a transmission, and didn't want to put the time into it. I'm a car flipper hobbyist so I was looking for something to occupy my time. The car starts and the engine is great, no lights on the dash. The underlying problem is when I shift the car into a gear, THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. It shifts fine, but the second I rev the engine to try to move the wheels, the dashboard lights up like everyone else here. Turn it off and on again, it goes back to being fine. OBD Scanner says p0700, p2750, and p2746. 1st code is a general transmission problem code, the other two are the primary and secondary speed sensors on the transmission. My initial plan was to get a trans from a junkyard ($450 used) ((car-parts.com) and throw it in, thinking that might cover all of my bases. So I started to drain the fluid to find out it looks dark brown or nearly black. (Youtube shows this might be common) I understand ALOT of people fix this with a valve body ($350-$450 used) or brake light switch (my lights all work and it shifts into gear fine) but after reading this, I might get lucky switching the speed sensors (2x $88). I refilled the transmission with CVT Fluid from the dealership ($75) so I can do an official diagnostic with a multimeter to check harnesses and the TCM (everything checks out). Unfortunately I need to at least lower the transmission a bit so I can take off the primary speed sensor, but if this doesn't work I'll get a transmission from a junkyard and swap it. Either way idk If I can lose on this flip. I'm hoping someone might respond by tomorrow to let me know if both speed sensors being bad would stop my car from moving.The next step in the diagnosis is to replace the speed sensors, but the codes were p0700, p2750, and p2746. I feel like it's weird for both sensors to go bad at the same time. But if they did, would this prevent my car from moving while in gear?
