    Hey all new to the hang out spot. My truck needs new battery terminals what all are the best ones out there? I’m always driving on dirt roads and fields.

    Many here use the GP audio or SDHQ billet terminals but they are pricey. I’m still using OEM with an AGM battery. The factory terminals did corrode when I still had my original Toyota battery. I use the red and green felt washers and a dab of grease on the post and terminal. My son used a cheap gold plated marine terminal that was solid and smooth so easy to wipe clean.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! I have never had any issue with the OEM terminals as long as I greased them to prevent corrosion.

    Once you get the new terminals installed, spray them with this stuff:

    Welcome from So Cal. No issues with my battery terminals. Always used those felt battery washers.

    Another vote for SDHQ, cry once type of deal. I went thru 3 styles before biting the bullet and getting the SDHQ ones. So much nicer. And if your planning on adding anything, like winch lines, or a/m lamps the extra bolts are a huge help.

    Too many, but not enough....
    another vote for SDHQ. I have the terminal protection kit too, its great for all the add on wiring I have and its solid as a rock.
