Southwire 905-7 Battery Side Post Terminal

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 905-7 is a heavy-duty automotive battery side post terminal designed for secure electrical connection at the side-mount battery post. This terminal provides a reliable mechanical and electrical bond between the battery and the vehicle or equipment wiring harness. It is packaged individually in a blister pack, making it a practical replacement unit for service bays, fleet maintenance shops, and roadside repair. The side post connection style is common on many domestic automotive battery applications and requires proper torquing to the post for a low-resistance, vibration-resistant connection. Electricians and automotive technicians handling battery service will find this terminal straightforward to install with standard hand tools.

This terminal is suited for automotive and light-duty equipment applications where the battery uses a side-mount post configuration rather than a top-post design. It is a single-pack unit, appropriate for individual vehicle service or as a single-unit replacement during battery swap or terminal replacement jobs. The blister packaging keeps the terminal clean and corrosion-free until point of use, which is particularly useful for technicians carrying inventory in a service vehicle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive technician or electrician familiar with battery service procedures. Always disconnect the negative battery cable before servicing any battery terminal to prevent accidental short circuits or electrical shock. Use appropriate hand tools to fasten the terminal securely to the side post — do not overtighten, as this can damage the battery post threads. Follow all applicable vehicle manufacturer service procedures and local electrical codes when performing battery terminal replacement.
