Has someone a clue for what kind of batteries this clamp is?

[rin67630]

I have received by error small battery clamps (see the top one on that picture) that are too small for standard lead-acid batteries.
The diameter is about 13mm (1/2") whereas normal are 16mm (3/8").
Has someone a clue for what kind of batteries this clamp is?
Bike batteries? Non lead-acid?

Thank you for advices.

I think the Japanese batteries have posts that small. It looks like the top one would fit my BYD battery pack perfectly (~14mm). Where did you get it?

I got them on eBay from a vendor "autohome2010", but since I complained massively that he did not clearly state that these clamps are smaller than standard, he completely removed the offer. But you might find them otherwise...

It looks like it's for the post on a battery from a Prius. Here's a pic of a Prius battery with a "standard" post clamp.

+/- terminals on some batts can be different sizes. Did you try the terminals on both batt posts?

About every starter battery I have seen here in Europe has different size of terminal on + and -
