I need a new battery for my truck.
I only want to buy a sealed AGM maintenance battery.
For $50, My go to battery store RK, has the battery I want but it's top post only. 5 year warranty.
They have side post batteries, but the old school wet cell battery.
So off to Menards. Delco 3 year warranty, 2x the money and they are on sale.
Not sure what's going on. I'm guessing top post batteries are returning and side posts are going out of fashion.
I need a top post to side post adapter. Only problem, I need a longer adapter. The top post on RK batteries are in the center of the top, not offset to one side.
1? What is the bolt on the adapter coated with?
2? What material is least likely to oxidize when in contact with the lead adapter?
I've seen some adapters sold online made from brass.
