[MrNatural22]

Anyone know what size the bolts are for the 24v A123 battery terminals. Can’t find and specs on it and long drive to the hardware store out here with a 50lb battery. Called b battery they didn’t know... nothing on google.

6mm?

6mm?

BBattery called and said it’s a 10. I said 10, can you be more specific,
10mm? 10.....? he said 10 was all he was told by another sales man?

That could be 10-32 fine thread or 10-24 course thread. 6mm is larger and almost 1/4 inch in diameter.

@Will Prowse do you know the size of the terminal bolt? ?

UPDATE BOLT SIZE MYSTERY SOLVED?
The terminal bolts are M6 10mm
Same size as the Lion energy bolts.
(They do know what size bolts are used on their batteries ?)
Now the 20 mile road trip to the nearest Ace and pick up a few with flat washers. ??

I said 6mm from an educated guess.

Why dont you have 6 mm bolts on hand like everyone else?

[MrNatural22]

Magnet?

That’s a good idea ? I may have to unscrew a couple deck boards and See what other goodies I thought were taken by gremlins poltergeists LOL
Maybe if I’m lucky the former owner stashed a box O treasure under there?
Or forgotten bones ? ?

@MrNatural22 what is the bolt spacing center to center?
I'm wondering if mechanical lugs like figures 3 and 4 are an option.

@smoothJoey the holes are .75” or
19mm center to center for the mounting portion. The battery terminal looks like it may or may not be different.(might be an optical dilusion?? LOL) I’ll measure those when The capacity test is done can’t get to them now they are occupied. I didn’t see that measurement on that chart though. ?
