if you do not find the connector and in a hurry you could make some with some thick wall brass tube drill to size cut a X at the end to a depth greater than the length of the post squish in for tight fit put a peace rubber hose for insulation connect wire at other end
enjoy

Hi Slingshot.

I drilled and taped mine for 1/4-20 threds. I used a brass washer between the copper bus barr.

The bar is held to the battery post with 1/2" long 1/4- 20 brass bolts. This has been working great now for several years.

This is a 48 volt system.

Pretty neat set up! Do I understand well, they are sealed so it means you don't have to water them up so that's why you can pile them up that way?

Jerry,

I assume this means that the terminal posts are solid, not hollow?

Thanks, I was thinking about that also, because the terminals reminded me of the connection posts on my crackerbox welder.
