2. Battery terminal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_terminal

   General Motors, and other automobile manufacturers, have also begun using side-post battery terminals, which consist of two recessed female 3/8" threads (SAE 3/8-16) into which bolts or various battery terminal adapters are to be attached. These side posts are of the same size and do not prevent incorrect polarity connections.

3. Jump start (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle)

   A jumper cable connected to the positive (red) terminal. Jumper cables, also known as booster cables or jump leads, are a pair of insulated wires of sufficient capacity with alligator clips at each end to interconnect the disabled vehicle with an auxiliary source, such as another vehicle with the same system voltage or to another battery. The ...

4. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

   That means that the contact resistance of the probes and their leads is inseparable from the resistance of the contact area to be measured, with which they are in series. In a four-terminal measurement, the current used to make the measurement is injected using a second, separate pair of leads, so the contact resistance of the measurement ...

5. List of battery sizes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes

   A common size for cells inside cordless tool battery packs. This size is also used in radio-controlled scale vehicle battery packs and some Soviet multimeters. 1 ⁄ 2-, 4 ⁄ 5 - and 5 ⁄ 4-sub-C sizes (differing in length) are also available. Soviet 332 type can be replaced with R10 (#4, 927, BF, U8) or 1.5 V elements from 3 V 2xLR10 packs ...

6. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

   The first starting and charging systems were designed to be 6-volt and positive-ground systems, with the vehicle's chassis directly connected to the positive battery terminal. [10] Today, almost all road vehicles have a negative ground system. [11] The negative battery terminal is connected to the car's chassis.

7. Terminal (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_(electronics)

   On many dry batteries, the positive terminal (cathode) is a protruding metal cap, and the negative terminal (anode) is a flat metal disc (see Battery terminal). In a galvanic cell such as a common AA battery, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, while the conventional current is opposite to this. [6]

8. Crocodile clip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_clip

   Small versions, ranging in size from 15–40 mm (0.59–1.57 in) in length, are used in electrical laboratory work. Large versions of these clips, called automotive clips or battery clamps , are made of solid copper for low electrical resistance , and are used with thick insulated copper cables to make connections between automobile batteries.

9. Lead–acid battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–acid_battery

   Corrosion on the positive terminal is caused by electrolysis, due to a mismatch of metal alloys used in the manufacture of the battery terminal and cable connector. White corrosion is usually lead or zinc sulfate crystals. Aluminum connectors corrode to aluminum sulfate. Copper connectors produce blue and white corrosion crystals.
