Connecting a light weight battery?
Connecting a light weight battery? How do you all connect your Hawker/Genesis/Odyssey/SVR/etc batteries? Seems like most are 5 or 6 mm (look like bike batteries) and stock connector bolts are more like 3/8". I see you can get screw in posts which would work if I cut the ends off the stock cables and put post style connectors on, but I hate to do that. Another thought was to make an adapter to bolt the stock cable to that would then bolt to the battery. I can't find any brass, maybe aluminum would work. Ideas?

I have a hawker battery and I removed the original screws from stock cables. Then ran hawker battery screws thru stock cable with two washers on inside and outside of cables and screwed into hawker battery with cable. Battery was layed on side in battery for this procedure.

Yup.. that would work too. I went the adapter route because I swap my batterys for the track/street. With this setup I don't have to fool with changing th bolts each time.
